Cancer Insurance Is Protection Worth Considering
While our organization has the words critical illness in our name, we acknowledge that for many individuals in their 40s, 50s and 60s, cancer is both the larger risk. It’s the one you likely are more concerned about.
Critical illness insurance policies cover a multitude of conditions, cancer being one of the primary risks. But, today some insurance policies offer consumers the option of ‘cancer-only insurance’ as well as the more comprehensive critical illness coverage. The cancer only coverage will typically be significantly less expensive.
If you are offered coverage at work, look to see if the offering provides both options. If not, comparing your employer critical illness insurance offering could be well worth your time.
