    Cancer cover

    The policy benefits and conditions used to assess eligible private cancer care.

    Cancer cover is not one standard market definition. A policy may separate consultations, tests, surgery, drug treatment, radiotherapy, monitoring and support, and may apply provider, authorisation or selected-option conditions to each. The full wording, membership certificate, personal underwriting terms and written claim decision together establish what applies to one member.
