You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive a bill from a provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance billing). Be aware your network provider might use an out-of-network provider for some services (such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services.

How is Cancer Insurance Different from Critical Illness Insurance? Cancer insurance is designed to provide benefits for a covered cancer diagnosis and related treatment, while critical illness insurance provides a lump-sum benefit for a range of covered conditions, which may include cancer. Cancer plans will pay out benefits annually as you receive treatment. Critical Illness plans are a one-time lump sum benefit.
