Comments on: Is breast cancer covered under my critical illness insurance with Co-operators in Canada…? http://www.sathospital.org/is-breast-cancer-covered-under-my-critical-illness-insurance-with-co-operators-in-canada/ Aternative cancer treatment Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: hanora http://www.sathospital.org/is-breast-cancer-covered-under-my-critical-illness-insurance-with-co-operators-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-18523 hanora Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stahospital.org/?p=4161#comment-18523 I think the purpose of this insurance is to replace your income and cover expenses not covered by the provincial health plan. With my stage 1 I really didn't miss much work, most people don't. OHIP covered all of my treatment. For a subsequent breast cancer I did miss work and there were expenses not covered by OHIP so I would guess it depends on what treatments you have and how much much they affect you. Why not call up Co-operators and ask them? Our supplemental insurance is very good about answering questions.
