Get employees direct financial support
Cancer insurance pays benefits directly to employees (not their providers) for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. An employee can spend the sum on co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Offer flexible plans
Choose the coverage and price that fit your employee and business needs. And riders for additional cancer screenings and tests, which includes BRCA gene testing for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer risk.
Expand employee cancer treatment and care options
Employees can receive payments for a vast number of services related to diagnosis, annual cancer screenings, treatment, and procedures. And possibly cover experimental treatments and home health care, too.
Want to make an even bigger impact?
What’s more, when offering Guardian Group Cancer Insurance with Guardian short-term disability benefits, your employees will get a service experience that eliminates multiple claim filings to get them faster and easier direct payments for the benefits they’re enrolled in.
