Limited Benefit Group Cancer Indemnity Insurance Today, it’s rare to find an American who doesn’t have a friend, coworker, neighbor, or family member touched by cancer. Fortunately, the cancer survival rate is increasing, according to the American Cancer Society1. However, the treatment of cancer often involves ongoing medical treatment, surgery, hospitalization, and radiation or chemotherapy – and the expenses can be staggering. Even the best major medical insurance doesn’t cover all of the expenses related to the treatment of cancer, often leaving individuals and families with unexpected financial woes. That’s why APL offers a group limited benefit cancer indemnity plan that can help to pay for some of the expenses due to treatment of cancer. And because early detection is so important in the treatment of cancer, our group plans also provide an optional diagnostic testing rider to help with the cost of routine cancer screening tests.
