What is LIC Cancer Cover?
LIC Cancer Cover is a specialized health insurance plan designed to provide financial protection if you’re diagnosed with cancer. It’s a non-linked, non-participating plan that offers a lump sum benefit upon diagnosis, along with additional features to support you through treatment and recovery.
Key Features:
- Two Benefit Options: Choose between Level Sum Insured or Increasing Sum Insured
- Early and Major Stage Coverage: Provides benefits for both early and advanced cancer diagnoses
- Premium Waiver: Future premiums are waived after a major stage cancer diagnosis
- Income Benefit: Receive monthly payments for 10 years after a major stage diagnosis
Why Consider LIC Cancer Cover?
Cancer rates in India are on the rise, with over 1.3 million new cases diagnosed annually. The financial burden of cancer treatment can be overwhelming, often wiping out a family’s savings. LIC Cancer Cover acts as a financial safety net, allowing you to focus on recovery without worrying about expenses.
Benefits in Detail:
- Early Stage Cancer:
- 25% of the Sum Insured paid as a lump sum
- Premiums waived for the next 3 years or until the end of the policy term (whichever is shorter)
- Major Stage Cancer:
- 100% of the Sum Insured paid as a lump sum (minus any early stage claims)
- Monthly income benefit of 1% of the Sum Insured for 10 years
- All future premiums waived
Who Should Consider This Plan?
LIC Cancer Cover is suitable for:
- Individuals with a family history of cancer
- Those looking to supplement their existing health insurance
- Anyone wanting peace of mind against the financial impact of cancer
How to Choose Your Sum Insured
Selecting the right Sum Insured is crucial. Consider factors like:
- Your current income
- Expected treatment costs in your city
- Family financial obligations
As a general rule, I recommend a Sum Insured of at least 20-30 times your monthly income.
Premium Examples
Here’s a sample of annual premiums for a 35-year-old non-smoker (rates per Rs. 1000 Sum Insured):
