Along with the other cancer-related medical costs, the out-of-pocket costs for navigating a cancer diagnosis can take a big bite out of your budget.

The reality is, as we age, we’re more likely to get cancer. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, 80% of all diagnosed cancer in the United States is among people 55 and older. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that the median out-of-pocket cost for cancer drugs exceeds $8,000.

And many insurance plans these days have higher deductibles. Along with the other cancer-related medical costs, the out-of-pocket costs for navigating a cancer diagnosis can take a big bite out of your budget.

Fortunately, I am able to offer a cancer supplement plan that pays if you’re diagnosed with cancer. You can even get a cancer policy for your kids if you get one for yourself. I can provide the options.

Most people are surprised to learn that supplemental cancer insurance is very affordable. For those who qualify, premiums can start as low as $20 per month.

You do have to medically qualify for supplemental cancer insurance, and approval depends on your age and smoking status. If you’ve already been diagnosed, it’s too late to make a purchase.

Everyone knows someone who has or has had cancer. Considering the fact that one in three people will get cancer in his or her lifetime, supplemental cancer coverage might be one of the best investments you can make.

Finding out if you qualify won’t cost you a dime. Give me a call to schedule your personal appointment.
