Key points
Our quote form asks whether you want full cancer cover so the broker understands your preference. It is not an assessment of what you need.
Policies may differ on cover for drugs, palliative care, monitoring and treatments not available on the NHS.
What to check in the policy documents
Policy terms differ between insurers. When looking at this topic, the documents to read are the policy summary, the full policy wording and your schedule. Points worth checking include: the cancer section of the policy wording; any limits on drugs or treatment duration; how long-term monitoring is treated.
This page cannot confirm whether any person, condition or treatment would be covered. That depends on the insurer's terms and decision.
