Why apply for an Aflac cancer insurance policy?

Because having cancer can be expensive. From deductibles and copays, to treatment transportation and childcare, there are lots of expenses that health insurance may not cover.

Aflac cancer insurance is here to help you and your family better cope financially - and emotionally - if a positive diagnosis of cancer occurs. Added comfort and protection means the freedom to focus on more important things. We pay cash benefits directly to you (unless assigned otherwise), so you can use anyway you see fit. We want you to be able to focus on your recovery, not your finances.
