When you are buying health insurance for the first time, cover for cancer claims is a massive part of the decision process. For many, knowing that they have extensive cancer cover is important and the Aviva cancer pledge makes their cover for cancer clear from the start.
Aviva provide extensive cover for the treatment of cancer under their cancer pledge. Their literature is exceptionally clear when it comes to explaining exactly what is and isn’t covered. This gives you additional peace of mind from the very beginning.
Even if you have chosen to take a reduced out-patients option on you policy, Aviva will NOT apply any out-patient limits for cancer claims after cancer has been diagnosed. This means that you will not have to worry if the worst ever happens and you receive a cancer diagnosis.
