Before you commit to a policy, here are key questions to ask (with your advisor):

1. What cancers are covered, and at which stages?
Sanlam pays 100% for certain aggressive cancers even at early stages.

2. Is there a “catch-all” feature?
That helps cover cancers not explicitly listed but that severely impact health.

3. Are there waiting periods or survival periods?
Some covers require you to survive a number of days before claiming.

4. How will premiums change over time?
Inflation adjustment and premium increases matter over the long run.

5. Can I claim from both severe illness and cancer cover?
With Sanlam, if you have both, it may be possible to claim under both benefits for a cancer diagnosis.

These are complex topics — we’re here to walk you through them and help you choose wisely.

Most people know treatment is expensive — but the unseen costs are often the hardest to bear:

- Travel to specialist centers
- Home care or hiring help
- Lost income from time off work
- Adjustments to lifestyle or home

Sanlam’s Severe Illness Cover helps with many of these extra expenses. Plus, the Sanlam Cancer Benefit covers cancers, tumours, leukaemia, lymphomas and even early‑stage cancers, offering a lump sum payout to support you beyond medical aid gaps.

If you have a family history of cancer or want peace of mind, now’s a great time to review your cover. Speak with a financial planner to see how your policy stacks up.
