Cancer Care Platinum

For people already diagnosed with cancer, this pays hospital bills for cancer and other illnesses, includes lifetime hospice care up to 20% of the sum insured, and offers an optional lump sum if cancer returns or spreads.

What Makes It Special:

A health insurance plan built for people who have already been diagnosed with cancer (any stage). It pays hospital bills for both cancer and non-cancer illnesses, needs no pre-policy medical tests, and offers an optional lump-sum payout if cancer comes back, spreads, or a new unrelated cancer develops.

Best For:

  • Buyers who prefer no pre-policy medical tests (past medical records are submitted instead)

  • Families planning for possible recurrence or spread of cancer through a lump-sum payout

  • Patients who want help with costs of advanced treatments like oral chemotherapy, immunotherapy and robotic surgery

  • Cancer survivors who want cover for both cancer and everyday hospital needs

  • People already diagnosed with cancer who find it hard to get regular health insurance

Quick Decision Guide

  • Call 1860-500-8888 to confirm room rent limits and the current network before buying.

  • Confirm the waiting periods and any cataract sublimit on your policy schedule before buying.

  • The sum insured is capped at ₹5 lakh, so check whether it covers your expected treatment costs.

  • A 5% co-payment applies to each claim, so factor that into your out-of-pocket costs.
