When you are looking into policies that cover Cancer there are a few things you must look at and not just the price. One thing that needs to be understood is what is and is not covered. Make sure that you understand which cancers will be covered under your policy and which ones are excluded like skin cancers. Another thing that you must be aware of is how does the policy pay. Some pay when treatments are made. While other are paid at the diagnosis of cancer as just a one lump sum and can be used for any thing you want to use it for not just treatments and doctor bills. There are also policies that have return of premiums if you don't get cancer you can get the money that you paid into the policy back.
