Our cancer pledge
We understand the importance of providing extensive cover and support at every stage of cancer treatment.
Our cancer pledge means we’ll cover the cancer treatment and palliative care you need, as recommended by your specialist.
We want to make things as comfortable as possible following your cancer treatment, so we’ll provide extensive cover for aftercare, including consultations with a dietitian, as well as money towards prostheses and a wig.
What cancer treatment is covered?
Outpatient consultations and treatment
Comprehensive outpatient cover, including diagnostic tests, consultations, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
Drugs to strengthen bones
We pay for bone-strengthening drugs, like bisphosphonates.
Preventative cancer treatment
For example, we'll pay for a mastectomy to a healthy breast if you've been diagnosed with cancer in the other breast, and you've already had cancer treatment that we've paid for.
Wigs and external prostheses
We'll contribute towards the cost of a wig after treatment and the first external prosthesis following cancer surgery.
Stem cell and bone marrow transplants
Includes collection, storage and implantation.
