Should I Buy Aditya Birla Sun Life Cancer Shield Plan?
The number of cancer patients are increasing day by day in India and the numbers are telling something very dangerous scene. In case you have been diagnosed with cancer in coming days then the cost of treatment is really high. I have seen how suffering and expensive it is to continue the cancer chemotherapy treatment.
Now you may have a term plan to secure your family’s life after death, which will not work in case cancer diagnosis. Even a health insurance policy may not be sufficient as they only handle hospitalization benefits only. In such a case, a dedicated policy for treating cancer could be a good idea only in case you are aware about the same.
Birla SunLife is a good name in the industry and this kind of cancer care plans are new to India also. If you are interested to buy such products, I think better to compare with other similar products and choose the which has many benefits for the same premium payment. Although I think that 50 lakh of max coverage is one of the highest coverage among all cancer care insurance policies in India.
