Cancer Insurance · Broward & Palm Beach County
Cancer insurance that pays at diagnosis — not after the bills pile up.
Cash paid on diagnosis of invasive cancer — for the deductible, the drive to treatment, unpaid leave, and the therapies your health plan calls experimental.
Why it matters
Treatment is covered. The rest of your life isn't.
A South Florida cancer diagnosis routinely produces $10,000–$50,000 of out-of-pocket cost even for a well-insured family — specialist copays, out-of-network second opinions at Sylvester or Moffitt, months of travel and parking, childcare, and a working spouse dropping hours.
Cancer insurance pays a lump sum when a covered diagnosis is confirmed, and many plans include additional per-treatment benefits for chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. You spend it however you need to. That flexibility is what lets families choose the best oncologist instead of the nearest one.

Frequently asked
Cancer Insurance questions we hear every week.
Does cancer insurance cover all cancers?+
Policies pay full benefits for invasive cancer. Carcinoma in situ and non-melanoma skin cancer usually receive a smaller defined benefit. We confirm the definitions carrier by carrier.
How much does cancer insurance cost in Florida?+
Most healthy adults in Broward or Palm Beach County pay $20–$50 per month for meaningful benefit amounts. Age and tobacco use are the biggest factors.
I have good health insurance — do I need this?+
Health insurance pays providers. This pays you. The gap it fills is deductibles, out-of-network care, travel and lost income, which is where cancer actually damages a household budget.
Can I get coverage as a cancer survivor?+
Sometimes, depending on type, staging and years since treatment. Certain carriers specialize in post-diagnosis underwriting, and we know which ones.
Is there a waiting period?+
Typically 30 days from the effective date, with a pre-existing condition look-back of 6–12 months depending on the carrier.
