Cancer can occur at any time regardless of lifestyle, yet too many people lack cancer insurance coverage to help pay for additional costs associated with treatment.

Paying for the costs of treatment is not usually the first concern that comes to mind when someone is diagnosed with cancer, but for many, it becomes an important one. Many individuals may face high out-of-pocket costs associated with deductibles, co-pays, and annual or lifetime caps. For almost all patients, cancer treatment can present significant financial costs. Will you be able to afford care if cancer touches someone in your family?

Who can get cancer? Fact...

According to the American Cancer Society, anyone can develop cancer. Since incidence rises with age, most cases affect adults who are middle-aged or older.*

• About 1,529,560 new cancer cases were expected to be diagnosed in 2010.*
• In the US, men have slightly less than a 1 in 2 lifetime risk of developing cancer; for women, the risk is a little more than 1 in 3.*

   

No one wants to plan for the possibility of a serious disease like cancer, but to help support you and your family financially in the event of a cancer diagnosis, United Teacher Associates Insurance Company (UTA), a Great American Supplemental Benefits Group company, offers two policies that provide cancer benefits:
