Cancer insurance
Help employees focus on their well-being
Cancer insurance can play a pivotal role in helping provide employees with much-needed financial support during a cancer diagnosis and treatment, and even before — with benefits for screenings that allow for early detection.
Among cancer patients and survivors, 51% reported incurring medical debt from costs related to cancer.
The debt is often carried for years with significant impact, including 53% of debt-holders facing collections and 46% seeing their credit score negatively impacted.1
