Carrier and plan availability vary by state. Call 888-730-6031 to see what’s available where you live.
🎗️ How Cancer Insurance Works
Cancer Insurance pays you cash after a covered cancer diagnosis, and some plans also pay during treatment. For instance, a UnitedHealthcare AdvantageGuard cancer rider offers $2,500 to $50,000. Meanwhile, ManhattanLife’s Cancer and Heart & Stroke plan lets you choose $5,000 to $75,000. Aflac, Cigna, and Mutual of Omaha offer standalone cancer plans too.
Because treatment often means travel, time off, and extra bills, that cash eases the strain. Also, it pays on top of your health plan. Call 888-730-6031 and a licensed agent will compare plans at no cost.
🪜 How to Use Your Plan

❓ Cancer Insurance FAQs
Cancer Insurance can ease the money stress that comes with a diagnosis. Below, our licensed agents answer the questions we hear most.
🎗️ How Cancer Insurance Works
What is cancer insurance?
Cancer insurance pays you cash after a covered cancer diagnosis or treatment. It works on top of your health plan. You choose how to use the money. Learn more in our guide to supplemental coverage options.
How is it different from critical illness insurance?
Cancer insurance focuses only on cancer and may pay during treatment. Critical illness covers several conditions with one lump sum. Some families choose one, and others choose both. Compare critical illness insurance too.
Does it replace my health insurance?
No, it adds cash on top of your health plan. Your health plan still pays your doctors. Meanwhile, cancer benefits help with travel, bills, and lost income. Call 888-730-6031 to see how they fit together.
📋 Benefits, Limits & Rules
Is there a waiting period?
Yes, most cancer plans wait 30 days or more before benefits start. A diagnosis during that time may not pay. Also, some plans pay only part of the benefit early on. An agent can confirm your plan’s rules.
Does it cover early-stage cancer?
Many plans pay a partial benefit for early-stage or non-invasive cancer. For example, some pay 25% of the full amount. Skin cancer may pay a small set amount. Always check the plan’s schedule.
Can I buy it if I had cancer before?
It can be harder, because most plans ask about past cancer. Some plans also exclude recent conditions. Still, options vary by carrier. Call 888-730-6031 and an agent will check your choices.
💲 Costs & Claims
How much does cancer insurance cost?
Cost depends on your age, tobacco use, and benefit amount. In a recent quote, Aflac cancer plans started near $20 a month for a 48-year-old in Broward County, Florida. ManhattanLife lump-sum cancer coverage can start near $6.75 a month per $5,000 at age 40. Call 888-730-6031 or request a free quote online for your exact price.
