Is cancer insurance worth it?

Who benefits from cancer insurance, what it pays for and what to watch for.

What health insurance doesn't cover

Even with good health insurance, a cancer diagnosis brings deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, travel, lodging and time away from work.

How cancer plans pay

Many plans pay a lump sum on first diagnosis and additional benefits for treatment. The money goes to you, not the provider.

What to watch for

Check waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, whether skin cancer is covered, and how the plan defines a diagnosis.
