How is a cancer income protection policy different from a traditional medical plan? Medical insurance reimburses the insured, or provider, for covered and approved medical services, procedures, equipment, and prescription drugs. The cancer income protection plan pays an immediate one-time, lump-sum payment directly to the insured upon initial diagnosis of a covered cancer. Additional cash benefits are also available when you receive services related to the treatment of cancer. The cancer income policy benefit can be used for any purpose you choose. Do I have to be employed to enroll in the cancer income policy? No. Enrollment isn t dependent on current or future employment. As long as you pay your premiums on time, coverage will continue. How is the benefit paid? When first diagnosed with invasive cancer or melanoma, you submit a claim form with the required diagnosis information. Once we receive all required information, we issue a check to you. This check is a one-time, lump-sum payment. The benefit can be used for any purpose you choose. Am I eligible for a cancer income policy if I ve had cancer in the past? You may qualify for coverage if you have been medically diagnosed as having or been treated by a doctor for internal cancer. We may request further documentation during the underwriting process if you have been diagnosed with cancer in the past. Are benefits coordinated with other insurance, if any? No. Benefits for this cancer insurance policy are paid to the policyholder separate from any other insurance. Do benefit amounts differ for family members? No. The cancer insurance policy provides the full benefits for all covered family members.

Benefits are not payable for any covered person who has cancer diagnosed before coverage has been in force 30 days from the Effective Date shown in the Policy Schedule.

Exception: If a covered person age 65 or over has cancer diagnosed during the waiting period, benefits for treatment of that cancer will apply only to treatment occurring after six (6) months from the Effective Date of the policy or, at your option, you may elect to void the policy from its beginning and receive a full refund of premium. Benefits will not be paid under Part 6, C through J of the Outline of Coverage, for treatment in a U.S. government hospital unless the covered person is actually charged for such treatment and is legally required to pay such charge. No benefits are payable for immunoglobulins or colony-stimulating factors.
