AIG CANCER COVER INSURANCE - HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
By 2020, 1 in 2 Irish people are expected to be diagnosed with Cancer in their lifetime.* Thankfully survivor rates are increasing in Ireland. AIG’s Cancer Cover insurance plan is designed to help you through this difficult time. Our unique standalone cash based benefit plan gives you payments of up to €64,000 to assist through every stage of your recovery starting from as little as €3.50 per month.**
*Source: cancer.ie - 1 in 2 by 2020 is a projection based on current data provided by the NCRI. It makes allowances for variables such as aging population, lifestyle and other factors and is in line with projections for other countries such as the UK.
**Based upon Standard Cover for an 18 to 29 year old non-smoker.
What is Cancer Cover?
When you are told you have cancer, the diagnosis affects not only you, but also your family and friends. You may feel scared, uncertain, or angry about the unwanted changes cancer will bring to your life and theirs. The emotional impact of dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be very difficult. The second worry is often money. How do I support my family, run a home, continue to pay bills during my treatment? What if I have no health Insurance? What if I can’t work?
This added financial stress can cause serious emotional pressure during this difficult time. Thankfully our policy covers you in payments of up to €64,000 to help you through any short term financial worries. There are no restrictions on how you spend the money, it could help pay for child care, help around the home, and even the little things you take for granted like parking charges, getting to the shops or the doctors. It can also be used to help pay your medical bills or on a relaxing holiday to help you recuperate.
