CancerWise Plus for Seniors

Cash benefits paid directly to you, to help you focus on treatment and recovery, not expenses

Features

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that Medicare beneficiaries without additional health coverage paid an average of $8,115 a year, or 23.7 percent of their incomes, on out-of-pocket costs after a cancer diagnosis.* Maintaining appropriate health insurance is an important first step to protecting yourself financially in the event you are diagnosed with the disease, but that alone will not cover all your expenses.

Our CancerWise^® Plus supplemental insurance plan is simple. It pays you a lump sum cash benefit upon a first diagnosis of cancer. This money helps you fill financial needs and can be used for anything you choose. It’s your money, your decision.

What is the difference between CancerWise and regular medical insurance?

Medical insurance usually pays your doctors and hospital to cover the costs of cancer diagnosis and treatment, but there are often additional unexpected costs associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment that medical insurance does not cover. CancerWise helps cover those gaps by paying a one-time lump sum directly to you to be used however you choose.
