Recently, our client Frank contacted us with concerns about potential health expenses, particularly regarding the possibility of facing cancer-related costs. Despite being enrolled in a comprehensive Medicare Supplement Plan G and a prescription drug plan, Frank remained worried due to his family’s history of cancer, including a recent diagnosis in a sibling.
I reassured Frank that his medical expenses, such as chemotherapy, radiation, hospital stays, and surgeries, were covered by original Medicare and his Medigap Plan G. However, there were still indirect expenses not covered, such as travel costs, lost wages for him or a family caregiver, professional caregiving fees, and certain cancer drugs. To illustrate this, I shared the experience of another client who incurred significant travel and lodging expenses in receiving her cancer treatments at a specialty clinic out of state.
To address Frank’s concerns, I informed him about an affordable option: a cancer coverage policy. These policies entail modest monthly premiums based on the benefit amount, providing a lump sum payment upon a diagnosis of any internal cancer or melanoma. This lump sum can be used at Frank’s discretion, covering expenses like travel, accommodation, unforeseen out-of-pocket costs during his cancer journey.
Today, Frank enjoys the security of both his Medicare and Medigap Plan G coverage, along with the peace of mind knowing his cancer policy will support him if needed. By alleviating the potential financial strain of a cancer diagnosis, Frank can focus on healing and recovery.
