What Is Cancer Insurance?
Cancer insurance refers to a health insurance benefit or a dedicated policy that covers:
-
Diagnostic testing (e.g. biopsies, imaging, lab work)
-
Surgery and hospitalisation
-
Radiation and chemotherapy
-
Immunotherapy and targeted therapies
-
Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care
-
Palliative care, if needed
Coverage may be part of your comprehensive health plan or offered as an add-on (rider) for additional protection.
How Does It Work for Expats?
With providers like April International, Allianz, and Now Health, expats typically receive:
-
Full reimbursement for medically necessary cancer treatments
-
Access to international centers of excellence for advanced care
-
Coverage for second medical opinions
-
Pre-authorization support and case management during treatment
-
Direct billing with approved oncology specialists and hospitals
-
Optional medical evacuation to countries with higher-standard cancer care
Cancer-related coverage is usually included under inpatient and outpatient benefits, though some insurers offer enhanced cancer-specific riders.
Key Considerations for Expats
When evaluating cancer insurance, ask:
-
Are diagnostics and advanced therapies fully covered?
-
Is there a lifetime or annual limit for cancer care?
-
Can I receive treatment outside my coverage zone?
-
Will insurers cover follow-up scans and recurrence care?
-
Is genetic testing or experimental therapy included?
We review the fine print so you can focus on recovery, not red tape.
