About Cancer Insurance
Allstate Benefits Cancer Insurance pays cash benefits after a diagnosis of cancer or one of 29 other specified diseases. The benefit can help reduce financial stress during a difficult time and allow everyone to focus on treatment and recovery.
How Cancer Insurance Works
Cancer Insurance benefits are paid for hospital stays, radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, medications, prosthesis and other associated treatments. People with this coverage submit claims after diagnosis and/or treatment and benefits are paid for approved diagnoses and procedures based on a pre-determined schedule of benefits. Some plans may include additional treatment benefits, and an annual wellness benefit for completing routine screenings.
Allstate Benefits and the American Cancer Society
Allstate Benefits proudly partners with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to offer resources and support with a shared vision to end cancer for everyone. Links to ASC tools and information can be found on our Partners page, including where to go for help, support and answers.
In addition to receiving cash benefits to help cover some of the costs associated with diagnosis and treatment, customers who are newly diagnosed with cancer critical illness also receive a personal letter of support from our company president and a copy of "Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cancer Book®."

Meet Joe
Prior to his annual physical, Joe has a PSA test. At his appointment, his doctor expresses concern with the results and sends him for additional testing. Those results lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer and a referral for surgery. Joe travels 400 miles from his home for pre-op testing and surgery. After returning home, Joe is under his doctor's care for a two-month recovery period. Joe files a claim under his Allstate Benefits Cancer Insurance and receives payment for the initial wellness exam, the initial cancer diagnosis, his hospital stay, surgery, anesthesia, and inpatient medication. He even receives benefits for his travel expenses. Altogether, Joe's benefit payment is enough to pay for his medical deductible with some left over for daily living expenses.
