Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it so important to sign up for Cancer Care now?
Because acceptance is guaranteed as long as you haven’t had cancer (except skin cancer) in the last 5 years 5 years (3 years in LA and MT, 2 years in IL, TN, and VT, 12 months in CT, IN, MD, MO, MS, NC, ND, SC, TX, and VA, 6 months in ID, ME, NH, NV, SD, UT and WY). So if you’ve been free of cancer up to now, you cannot assume you’ll avoid this danger forever. As cancer incidents become more likely with increasing age*, the VFW urges you to take action now.
How does this work with my current medical coverage?
A battle with cancer is expensive. That’s why the VFW Cancer Care Insurance Plan kicks in benefits – paid REGARDLESS OF any other insurance you may have – to help you fight cancer. You collect cash benefits to help with unexpected costs such as hospital stays, operations, doctors, drugs and more.
Can I really collect benefits even if I DON’T have cancer?
Absolutely. Because early detection is the best way to beat cancer, we send you cash benefits for any outpatient diagnostic test for cancer. After you’ve been covered for 30 days, go take that test. We’ll pay you $30.00. Then go take the test next year. We’ll send you another $30.00. As long as you’re covered by the plan, you can keep collecting these benefits.
What if I decide Cancer Care isn’t right for me?
There’s no obligation with the program’s 30 Day Free-Look. As soon as you sign up, we’ll send you a certificate or policy of insurance. Look it over for a full 30 days. If you’re not completely satisfied, just let us know. We’ll cancel your coverage and give you a complete 100% refund of any premium you’ve paid as long as you haven’t made any claims during that time.
