The common understanding of\u00a0health insurance<\/a>\u00a0is that it\u2019s the insurance that pays for hospital bills (up to the\u00a0sum assured) in case a person is admitted to the hospital. However, the\u00a0past few years have seen a\u00a0rise in something known as a\u00a0cancer cover policy. Two key reasons for the increase in cancer cover policies have been the rising incidence of cancer in India, as well as rising medical costs, particularly of cancer specific procedures like chemotherapy, radiation therapy etc. Most customers have heard these terms but are not very clear about what chemotherapy is, if chemotherapy is covered by their insurance, and what is the difference between radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Before you decide to buy a cancer cover policy it\u2019s a good idea for you to get a\u00a0basic understanding of these treatments, the process by which they are administered and the incurred cost, both financial and physical. In this article, we will address these basic questions.<\/p>
