Nearly 1.4 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. 1 Many patients may face devastating financial consequences.

Your standard health insurance will cover many of your medical bills, but nearly 65% of the cost of cancer is nonmedical in 2005, such as copayments, deductibles and daily living expenses, to name a few.

Supplemental cancer insurance is designed to help pay for the nonmedical costs of cancer. When you consider the fact that in the United States men have a lifetime risk of nearly 1-in-2 and women have more than a 1-in-3 risk of developing cancer, additional coverage can be beneficial.

Cancer insurance lessens the financial strain by providing you with immediate benefit. Some plans offer an annual wellness benefit and cover alternative cancer therapies.

Protect you and your family from the expenses of cancer beyond the doctor's office.
