Why is LIC’s Cancer Cover Plan is Essential and Best?

LIC’s Cancer Cover Plan

LIC Cancer Cover Plan No. 905 – is an explicit, non-participating, and non-linked health insurance plan for the disease like Cancer. The LIC Cancer Cover plan requires regular payment of the premium that can be paid annually or semi-annually until the policy term ranges from 10 to 30 years. Cancer Cover Plan is a fixed benefit health plan that offers payments regardless of the costs incurred in treatment. Cancer Cover Plan ensures financial protection if the insured person is diagnosed during the policy term with any specified Early or Major Cancer. The policy can be purchased both online and offline. Most people find offline buying convenient because of the service. In recent years, cancer cases have increased in India at an alarming rate. In many health insurance policies, Cancer or critical illness is not specifically covered in the plan.  As you know that Cancer treatment can take many months of hospitalization, and a normal health insurance plan is not adequate to cover expenses. At such times, the insurance company will provide benefits no matter how high the costs of the treatment. Here is everything you want to know.

Plan No. 905
Launch Dated 14 Nov 2017

Do you know?

Cancer cases have gone up in India at an alarming rate. Cancer is ‘eating away’ not just Indians but the country’s economy too. One in 10 Indians will develop Cancer in their lifetime, says WHO.
If a person is diagnosed with Cancer then he will need months of treatment and thus, the financial expenses will also be huge. It is estimated that for Cancer care including diagnosis, radiation, chemotherapy, hospitalization, etc. the cost can be anywhere from Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 25 lakhs for just a period of 6 months.

What is Cancer?

Our body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.Cancer-and-Normal-CellsCancer can start almost anywhere in our body which is made up of trillions of cells. Generally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
When Cancer develops in our body, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old, or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed.

What is Cancer Statistics in India?

  • 7,84,821 – Cancer-related deaths
  • 1 woman dies of Cervical Cancer every 8 minutes in India.
  • Every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one woman dies of it in India.
  • Mortality due to tobacco use in India is estimated at upwards of 3500 persons every day.
  • Tobacco (smoked and smokeless) use accounted for 3,17,928 deaths (approx) in men and women in 2018.
  • Estimated no. of people living with the disease: around 2.25 million.
  • Every year, new Cancer patients registered: Over 11,57,294 lakh

Cancer-Cover

What is the need of this Cancer Cover Plan?

Most of the company does not cover Cancer or Critical Illnesses in the plan. Treatment of Cancer may require many months of hospitalization. The standard health insurance plan is not adequate to cover all these expenses because the treatment of cancer is expensive. It solely depends upon the Cancer stage. You don’t think that there should be a specific health plan to take care of these expenses?
Yes, LIC of India has come up with a Cancer-specific health plan known as Cancer Cover.

What does this Cancer Cover Plan offer?

This plan offers a fixed benefit payout for the treatment of Cancer. If the policyholder is diagnosed with Cancer, this plan will provide benefits irrespective of the costs incurred in the procedure.
It protects in the case of Early Stage and Major Stage Cancer.
LIC’s Cancer Cover Plan is a regular premium plan in which premiums can be paid yearly or half-yearly till policy term ranging from 10 to 30 years. It can be purchased offline as well as online. If you are going online then you have to be smart enough to buy it. If you are going offline then there is someone who will assist you, guide you at every stage. You need not worry. The choice is yours!

How many options are available for this Cancer Cover Plan?

LIC’s Cancer Cover offers 2 plan options. Obviously, the benefits will vary accordingly.

Option 1 – Level Sum Insured:
In this option, the Basic Sum Insured shall remain unchanged throughout the policy term. So, if you choose a cover of Rs. 10 lakhs, means it will be the same until the policy term.

Option 2 – Increasing Sum Insured:
In this option, the amount of cover you choose increases by 10% of the Basic Sum Insured every year until the first 5 years. If the policyholder is diagnosed with Cancer this increase will stop even within the first 5 years. So if you have taken a 30 lakhs cover, it will keep increasing by Rs. 3 lakh every year for 5 years (so it can go to a maximum of Rs. 45 lakhs). If you are diagnosed with Cancer after the increased Cover has reached Rs. 39 lakhs, it would not increase in the next 2 years.
The sum insured can be as high as Rs 50 lakh in this plan. So, if you take a Cover of 50 lakh with option 2 that is of No Use. In this case, option 1 is perfect. Do you know that you pay more premiums for option 2 than the premium for option 1. So, be cautious while selecting the option.
You can understand that the benefits payable under this plan shall be based on the Applicable Sum Insured that shall be equal to:

Option I – Basic Sum Insured for policies taken
Option II – Basic Sum Insured during the first year and increased sum insured after that
