Cancer Care: don't let serious illness compromise your future

Insure your entire family and decide how to spend your budget

• You are entitled to a payment if either you or your co-insured underage child are diagnosed with cancer.
• This is not a reimbursement scheme, but a payment of a pre-determined amount.
• The Twee hoofden (Two Heads) option insures you and your partner as well as your children. This is recommended.
• You are completely free to decide what you will spend the amount on: home care, working less, additional costs that do not qualify for reimbursement, comfortable equipment or care, a nice trip with your family – it's entirely up to you.

Purpose

To protect your family against the financial consequences of either you or your children being diagnosed with cancer.¹

Insured risk

Life-threatening cancers, including leukaemia, malignant lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, malignant bone marrow cancers and sarcomas.

The cancer must be diagnosed by a medical expert based on cell and tissue analysis. An oncologist must then draw up a histopathological report.²

Insured amount

• Depends on the monthly repayment for the mortgage loan.
• Amounts
  • up to EUR 50,000 for the main policyholder
  • half of the amount for the main policyholder for the joint policy holders

Personal risk period

This lasts 6 months. In other words, the insurance policy will not cover a diagnosis of cancer during the first six months from signature of the agreement.

Upper age limit

Cancer Care insures you against cancer until you reach the age of 70.

End of cover

• For all (joint) policyholders: when the outstanding balance insurance expires
• For a joint policyholder: once they turn 18 and reach the age of majority

The supplementary Cancer Care cover can be cancelled free of charge at any time without terminating the Hypo Care(+) cover.

Medical acceptance

The same conditions apply as for your main cover, Hypo Care(+)

• Are you aged 50 or less? And is your insured capital no more than EUR 300,000? Then all you need to do is fill in a simplified medical questionnaire.
• In all other cases you can find more information in our overview of segmentation criteria and in the Financial Information Sheet.

Premiums

• The amount of the premium depends on factors such as:
  • your age when the policy is taken out
  • whether or not you smoke
• Payment frequency
  • monthly: only via direct debit
  • annual: via direct debit or transfer

Don't delay – ask your broker for a quotation in order to find out your exact premium, adjusted to your personal situation.

Tax status

The cover follows the same approach as your main cover, Hypo Care(+).
