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.
