Aflac® Cancer Insurance provides cash benefits that can help with many of the expenses associated with a covered cancer diagnosis and treatment. Depending on your policy, benefits may be available for cancer screenings, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, transportation, lodging, and follow-up care. Because benefits are paid directly to you, the money can be used however you need it most.

A cancer diagnosis can create financial challenges even if you already have major medical insurance. Aflac® Cancer Insurance helps provide cash benefits that can be used for deductibles, travel, lodging, household bills, lost income, or other unexpected expenses during treatment and recovery. Having this added financial protection allows you to focus more on healing and less on financial stress.

In most cases, Aflac® Cancer Insurance is intended to be purchased before a cancer diagnosis. Eligibility requirements vary by state and plan, and some policies require applicants to be cancer-free for a specified period before coverage can be issued. If you have questions about eligibility, our knowledgeable agents can help you review your available options.

Most Aflac® Cancer Insurance policies include a waiting period before certain benefits become available. In many states, this waiting period is 30 days, although policy provisions can vary. Purchasing coverage before it is needed helps ensure you'll have protection in place if you're diagnosed in the future.

For many families, Aflac® Cancer Insurance provides valuable financial protection during one of life's most difficult challenges. Even with traditional health insurance, treatment-related expenses, travel, lodging, and everyday household costs can quickly add up. Cash benefits paid directly to you help reduce financial pressure so you can focus on your health and recovery.
