Coping with Cancer ...

Families seldom evade cancer within their life span. Thankfully, cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was due to cutting edge science in the medical field through preventative care.

Approximately 10.7 million Americans are living with and surviving cancer(1).

... High health insurance deductibles and co-payments, experimental treatments, prescription prices, travel for treatment and nursing care can quickly drain family bank accounts - why take the risk Minnesota?

Why do you need cancer insurance?

Very few diseases can wipe out financial resources as rapidly as a critical illness, such as cancer. So if you, a loved one,or friend should be diagnosed with cancer, wouldn't it be a relief to have insurance that eases the financial worry so you can concentrate on treatment and recovery?

Nobody knows how to care for your relatives better than you do. So if you, or a close friend, should be diagnosed with cancer, make certain you're prepared to manage the startling expenses.

Solution ...

Cancer Insurance enables you to fill some gaps in the insurance you and your family may already have. This reimbursement plan compensates you over and above any other health insurance benefits and may help keep cancer expenses from creating a financial crisis. Some insurers offer lump sum payout coverage directly to you once diagnosed and others offer a daily payout of benefits.
