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
