Cancer information and support

If you’re worried about cancer, or you’ve received a cancer diagnosis – we can help.

We have partnered with Check4Cancer to help identify your personal cancer risk and detect cancer early through assessments and screenings.

We know how tough it can be when someone is diagnosed with a serious, and often life-threatening, condition. That’s why all of our members can rely on Vitality Care during the most difficult and stressful times.

As soon as you have a cancer claim accepted, you’ll have your own personal, dedicated Vitality Care Manager to support you through every step of your cancer journey. They'll listen to your needs and will guide you through your treatment options, so you get the right care for you. They'll also help you through your recovery to get you back to health as quickly as possible.

All our plans include Advanced Cancer Cover*, which pays all eligible costs associated with cancer once diagnosed. This means if you're diagnosed with cancer, we cover your in-patient and out-patient costs in full.

The only exceptions to this are:

  • If you attend a hospital which is not on your hospital list, in which case you would be liable for 40% of the hospital costs

  • If you see a consultant who is not registered with Vitality, in which case you would need to pay for their fees in full and any treatment they carry out

  • If you undertake treatment which isn't covered by your plan, such as unlicensed or experimental treatment, you would need to pay the costs in full

Our Cancer Benefit Booster can help to pay your bills while you’re receiving your treatment, find out whether you are eligible.
