Cancer coverage is supplemental coverage that pays you directly upon a qualified event. For example, if you were diagnosed with cancer, your health insurance would cover your medical bills in accordance to its plan summary and your cancer policy would pay you for parts of care received (often that includes a lump sum at time of diagnosis, labs, surgery, anesthesia, chemotherapy, and more). This additional policy helps cover lost wages or may be used towards your deductible; it pays you directly to use however you desire.
