Financial Assistance for Cancer Care
Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan. For individuals who do not have health insurance or who need financial assistance to cover health care costs, resources are available, including Government-sponsored programs and services supported by voluntary organizations.
National Cancer Institute
As its name implies, cancer insurance provides benefits only if you are diagnosed with cancer (as defined by the terms of the policy contract). These policies offer limited benefits for the actual diagnosis, and/or treatment of cancer.
