CANCER INDEMNITY INsuRANCE
Added Protection for You and Your Family
Chances are you know someone who's been affected, directly or indirectly, by
cancer. You also know the toll it's taken on them—physical y, emotional y, and
financial y. That's why we've developed the Aflac Cancer Care insurance policy.
The plan pays a cash benefit upon initial diagnosis of a covered cancer, with a
variety of other benefits payable throughout cancer treatment. You can use these
cash benefits to help pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, the rent or mortgage,
groceries, or utility bil s—the choice is yours.
And while you can't always predict the future, here at Aflac we believe it's good to be prepared. The Aflac Cancer Care plan is here to help you and your family better cope financial y—and emotional y—if a positive diagnosis of cancer ever occurs. That way you can worry less about what may be ahead.
