Cancer Insurance doesn’t replace your medical coverage; instead, it complements it. The benefit payments don’t go out to pay for medical bills or treatments you may need, instead they come in—directly to you—to be used however you’d like. Choose Cancer Insurance to help lessen the financial impact of covered services and treatments resulting from a covered cancer diagnosis.
Your Cancer Insurance includes the following benefits and riders:
This is a yearly benefit you and your covered dependent spouse and/or children can receive by completing an eligible cancer screening test.
Continuation allows you to maintain your current Cancer Insurance coverage for yourself, your spouse and children during an employer-approved leave of absence.
You may apply to continue your coverage when you leave your current employer, and pay premiums to the insurance company directly.
If you aren’t working because you are totally disabled, Waiver of Premium allows you to keep your Cancer Insurance coverage for a period of time without paying premiums.
