plan work?

A recent quote from the Associated Press “Costly illnesses trigger about half of all personal bankruptcies, and most of those who go bankrupt because of medical problems have health insurance, according to findings from a Harvard University study. The study said 38 percent had lost coverage at least temporarily by the time they filed for bankruptcy, with illness frequently leading to the loss of both a job and insurance”.*

*Associated Press updated 2/2/2005

Study done in 2009 by KaiserFoundation found the following:1. High cost-sharing, caps on benefits and

lifetime maximums leave cancer patients vulnerable to high out of pocket health care costs.

2. People who depend on their employer for health insurance may not be protected from catastrophically high health care costs if they become too sick to work.

3. Cancer patients and survivors are often unable to find adequate and affordable coverage in the individual market.

4. While high-risk pools are designed to help cancer patients and others who are uninsurable, they are not available to all cancer patients and some find the premiums difficult to afford.

5. Waiting periods, strict restrictions on eligibility, or delayed application for public programs can leave cancer patients who are too ill to work without an affordable insurance option.

For an affordable premium, many clients can have supplemental individual coverage to help pay for the expensive treatment of cancer.

Who is a typical prospect for supplementalCancer Insurance?Everyone is at risk to some degree of being diagnosedwith cancer during their lifetime.

One in 2 men and one in 3 women will bediagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

Although the risk to children is much less than adults, family plans make adding children’s coverage very affordable.

Who can qualify for supplementalCancer Insurance? Anyone who has not already been diagnosed with Cancer or has been treatment free for over 5 years or has not been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS.

• Two basic types of coverageare available:– Lump Sum– Expense reimbursement

• Lump Sum coverage can be in the form of Critical Illness coverage covering more than just Cancer.It usually pays a specified amount ranging anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000 upon the first diagnosis of major critical illnesses like Cancer, Heart Attack and Stroke.

• It can also be in the form of Cancer only coverage.

• Either way, once the lump sum benefit is paid out for cancer, the coverage for Cancer ends.

• The advantage to this type of coverageis that it is simple to understand and the client has a specified amount of money to use for any expenses they wish.

• The disadvantage is that since Cancer can be a long term illness, once the lump sum is paid out, expenses may continue, leaving the insured without ongoing coverage.

• Another disadvantage is that it is unsuitable for Section 125 Cafeteria Plans as the benefits could be considered taxable to the insured.

Treatment for Cancer is constantly changing as new drugs and procedures are developed. Often, experimental and other treatments are not covered by traditional health insurance.

This can leave holes in a patients coverage resulting in high out of pocket costs.

The Resolutions Cancer Plan was developed to fill some of those holes.
