iCan Cancer Plan Benefits

iCan Cancer Health Insurance plan offers several benefits to its customers. From criticare benefits to lifelong coverage, iCan Cancer has got everything covered.

Lifelong Coverage
There are high chances of recurrence of cancer in the first five years after the treatment. The plan does not stop giving coverage to its insured for a lifetime irrespective of medical state and age. This is more beneficial in the case of cancer insurance for women because, with the increase in age, the probability of the occurrence of cancer increases in females. Cases of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc have been found in females as their age increases.
CritiCare Benefit
In case the insured is diagnosed with cancer then s/he gets a 60% lump sum payout of the sum insured. This is also applicable to cancer insurance for women. This means if the insured sum chosen is Rs. 20 lakhs then, in this case, the insured gets Rs. 12 lakhs as a lump sum and still the insured can use the base 20 lakhs, to meet the treatment expenses.
FamilyCare Benefit
On diagnosis of stage IV cancer or recurrence of cancer, a 100% lump sum payment of the sum insured is provided to the policyholder. So, in case the insured has a cover of Rs. 20 lakhs, s/he will get a lump sum amount of 20 lakhs, and still, the policyholder is eligible to have the base 20 lakhs to cover the treatment expenses.
My Care Benefit
Standard Plan The plan covers expenses for hospitalization (Daycare and Inpatient) and outpatient treatment taken for cancer. A list of conventional treatment that gets coverage is: Chemotherapy Radiotherapy Organ transplantation, as part of cancer transplantation Surgeries for excision of cancerous tissue or removal of organs/ tissue (Onco-surgery) All the pre-hospitalization medical expenses incurred within 30 days before the hospitalization date get coverage. Under post-hospitalization expenses, all the costing for treatment after the discharge from the hospitals gets the coverage. There is an ambulance coverage of Rs. 2000 per hospitalization in the case of an emergency. The follow-up care post gets coverage of Rs. 3000 twice a year. Advanced Plan Other than the base cover following are mentioned things that get coverage
Second Opinion
iCan cancer insurance provides coverage for a second opinion from a specialist in certain cases depending upon the criticality of the cancer phase for women and individual/ family floaters.
