LIC Cancer Care Policy
Cancer, one of the leading diseases in India, is turning into a bigger threat with each passing day. The devastating prognosis is a cause of concern not only for the afflicted but the entire family. High cost of pre-diagnosis tests and treatment make matters worse. But being insured at this hour can certainly bail you out.
Unlike a general health insurance cover, LIC’s Cancer Care Policy is a one-of-its-kind cancer care plan that provides financial assistance to help fight the debilitating disease.
The fixed benefit health plan provides protection both in case of Early Stage and Major Stage Cancer.
Plan Options:
Option 1: Level Sum Insured
The Basic Sum Insured is picked at the start of the policy and remains unchanged throughout the policy term.
Option 2: Increasing Sum Insured
The Basic Sum Insured increases by 10% every year for the first five years. However, if the policyholder is diagnosed with cancer within the first 5 years, the Basic Sum Insured ceases to increase further.
Thus, the benefits payable under the plan are based on the Applicable Sum Insured, where the Applicable Sum Insured is defined as:
Option 1 – Basic Sum Insured for policy taken
Option 2 – Basic Sum Insured and increased Sum Insured thereafter
Policy Benefits:
The benefits that the policy draws are dependent of the stage at which the disease is diagnosed.
