Super Visa Insurance
Does Super Visa Insurance policy cover Cancer?
Cancer is the abnormal or malignant growth of cells which spread throughout the body destroying healthy tissue. The diagnosis of cancer is usually confirmed by a biopsy and the extent of the disease is established by other tests. Depending on its severity, cancer can be life threatening or can be easily cured. Cancer in situ and the other exclusions (except for a tumour developing in the presence of HIV) are not considered life threatening and their treatment has a fairly high success rate.
- When cancer cells have not spread beyond the structure of the tumour itself, the cancer is referred to as in situ. This is the initial stage of cancer. Once it begins invading the adjacent structures, it is no longer considered in situ.
When buying Super Visa insurance policy in Canada from a Canadian Insurance company, one must look into the definitions, exclusions, eligibility, type of cancer covered. Every insurance company has its own independent offering.
