Cancer Insurance
Aflac cancer insurance1 is here to help you and your family better cope financially—and emotionally—if a positive diagnosis of cancer ever occurs. Added comfort and protection means the freedom to focus on more important things.
Cancer Insurance Cost?
When cancer or a specified-disease strikes, the last thing you and your family should have to think about is the cost – the priority should be recovery. Cancer treatments and procedures can quickly add up, making cancer insurance costs worth it.
The cost of cancer insurance is impacted by your age, location and your ideal benefits, but Aflac’s Cancer/Specified-Disease Insurance plans are an affordable option for all kinds of policy needs. We recommend chatting with an agent to get a more specific quote.
Aflac offers some cancer insurance policies with weekly rates as low as a gallon of milk.
How Much Does Cancer Treatment Cost Without Insurance?
Not every cancer diagnosis is the same, which means treatments and procedures vary across the board. While one breast cancer diagnosis may require a mastectomy, another may need radiation.
Cancer treatment costs with insurance can be much more manageable with a good policy in place.
How Does Aflac Cancer Insurance Work?
Now that you have a better idea of how much Aflac Cancer insurance is, let’s discuss how exactly it works. Supplemental cancer insurance benefits are designed to help cover expenses that traditional insurance may not cover. Aflac cancer insurance doesn't just help with medical expenses, but the cash benefits can also help you with everyday costs.
With our cancer insurance, cash is delivered straight to the policyholder6 rather than going through a doctor or hospital first. You can use these benefits to help pay for your mortgage payments, electricity bills or medication refills – it’s completely up to you. Taking a look at your current expenses can help you determine how much coverage you would need if you are diagnosed with cancer.
For example, let’s say you notice a darker bump on your nose, and you make an appointment with a dermatologist. Your doctor decides it’s worth a closer look, so they do a skin cancer screening and biopsy. The results are back, and they recommend chemotherapy to treat the advanced skin cancer diagnosis.7 If you have an Aflac cancer policy, you can then file your covered claim to receive cash benefits. You can use the payment to help cover the screening, surgery, or to help with your utility bills – you decide.
