What Are Out-of-Pocket Costs Associated with Cancer Treatment?
Even with comprehensive insurance, patients may incur significant out-of-pocket costs. These can include deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance. Additionally, there may be costs for medications not covered by insurance, transportation to treatment centers, and lost income if the patient is unable to work. Critical illness insurance can help mitigate some of these costs by providing a lump sum payment that can be used at the policyholder's discretion.
