Cancer insurance

Robbie has watched several friends battle cancer. So he gets regular check ups, doesn't smoke and is planning to spend more time at the gym. But since there are no guarantees in life, he wants to strengthen his financial protection, as well.

Could your bank account survive a bout with cancer? Our cancer benefit pays benefits for covered cancer treatments and expenses. It can supplement health insurance and help pay medical bills.


Who's at risk?

Cancer insurance is a limited policy.

The policies or their provisions may vary or be unavailable in some states. The policies have exclusions and limitations which may affect any benefits payable. See the actual policy or your Unum representative for specific provisions and details of availability.
