Yes, owning an ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan along with a health cover is important. A cancer insurance policy covers the insured for cancer only. On the other hand, a health insurance policy covers other diseases as well. A health insurance policy pays the policyholder in case of hospitalization due to illness or accident. The policy will reimburse or provide cashless service if the insured is hospitalized for 24 hours minimum( in most of the cases). The health insurance policy will cover you for pre and post-hospitalization expenses.

On the other hand, ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan will pay you a lump sum amount on the diagnosis of cancer. The idea of the policy is to enable the policyholder to not compromise on the quality of the treatment. The policy covers all stages of cancer and protects your savings. Ultimately, this policy prevents the family from any financial burden on the family which otherwise will be made for the treatment. The lump sum amount will also save you from loss of income with monthly income benefit which brings peace to your mind.

Both the policies provide you income tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Stage 2 Cancer refers to large cancer or tumors that have grown but haven't spread.
A cancer insurance policy covers the expenses that the life insured will incur at the time of diagnosis. The policy will cover the cost of hospitalization, treatment procedure, and medications. The amount payable will be made in a lump sum, the percentage of this payment will be made depending on the plan and the stage of cancer. The cancer insurance policy will cover cancer detected at the minor as well as the major stage.
When the minor stage of cancer is diagnosed first, the lump sum amount will be released at the time of diagnosis. The future premiums will be waived off for a specified time. Now, if the cancer is detected again, the remaining portion of the sum assured will be made available to the insured. In some cases, the insurance company will also provide a regular income to the insured after the treatment for a certain period.
