- 10968 POINTSview profileTim WilhoitOwner, Your Friend 4 Life, Brentwood TNA critical illness policy that covers cancer should consider breast cancer for claim benefit. The only type of cancers excluded under critical illness policies are the basic skin cancers like basal cell cancer. There are critical illness insurance policies that are scheduled out benefits such as a set amount for each procedure and there are policies that just pay lump sum upon diagnosis. If you cannot locate your policy to read the specifics of your coverage, contact your agent or insurance company to be sure your claims are being processed correctly and you are receiving your benefits in a timely manner. God Bless.Answered on June 2, 2015flag this answer
