How to Get the Best Cancer Treatment Without Breaking the Bank
When it comes to battling cancer, many wonder how to get the best cancer treatment and care. Having access to the best options is critical to your recovery. But for many individuals and families, the financial strain of traveling to top-ranked hospitals or specialists can make that dream seem out of reach. Regardless, at Lonestar Financial Solutions, we believe that everyone deserves the freedom to access top-notch cancer care without worrying about how to afford it.
With our CancerCare policy, you don’t just get coverage for medical expenses—you gain the ability to seek out the best cancer treatment in the country. Here’s how our Patient Transportation Benefit helps you access the care you need while protecting your finances.
How to Access the Best Cancer Treatment: Overcoming Hidden Challenges
When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the immediate focus is often on finding the best possible treatment. Unfortunately, many families face barriers, such as:
Travel Costs: Hidden Challenge #1
To be sure, flights, fuel, or other transportation expenses necessary to travel to specialized cancer centers can add up quickly.
Lodging: Hidden Challenge #2
Nobody wants to fight cancer alone or away from their family. However, staying close to your loved one during treatment often involves hotel or motel expenses.
Lost Wages: Hidden Challenge #3
Extended time away from work to accompany or support a family member during treatment can impact financial stability. Moreover, the last place most people want to be when their spouse or child is battling cancer is at work.
Nevertheless, these hidden expenses often force families to settle for the care closest to home, even if better options are available elsewhere.
How Our Cancer Policy Helps You Get the Best Cancer Treatment
With the Patient Transportation Benefit, you’re no longer limited to local treatment options. You gain access to financial support for traveling to the best cancer treatment centers in the country. Here’s what you get:
- Coverage for Long-Distance Travel: If your treatment is more than 80 miles from home, the policy covers up to $2,500 per round trip for airfare, train, or bus travel. For car travel, it reimburses 60 cents per mile.
- Family Member Travel Benefits: A family member accompanying you can also receive up to $2,500 for their round trip, or mileage reimbursement if traveling by car. This ensures that your loved ones can stay by your side during crucial appointments or treatments.
- Lodging for Family Members: When a family member travels with you to a treatment facility more than 80 miles away, we cover up to $200 per day for their lodging, with a maximum of 60 days per hospitalization.
- Second Parent Support: For families with children undergoing cancer treatment, the policy provides additional benefits for a second parent’s travel expenses, making sure your child has the full support of both parents.
Why Being Prepared Matters
The truth is, most people aren’t financially or emotionally prepared to face a cancer diagnosis. By the time the diagnosis comes, it’s too late to pick up supplemental insurance, leaving families scrambling to afford the care they need. With Lonestar Financial Solutions, you can:
- Travel to the best cancer treatment centers without worrying about costs.
- Stay focused on recovery and healing, not logistics or financial stress.
- Ensure your loved ones can be there with you every step of the way.
