More women are beating cancer every year
While it’s great news that more and more women now survive, beating cancer can be a struggle that has physical, emotional and financial consequences. Every year thousands of women are diagnosed with female-specific cancers. According to Cancer Research UK, breast cancer alone accounts for over 45,500 1 new cases each year.

If you were diagnosed with cancer, it’s likely that you’d be faced with all kinds of worries. How are you going to cope financially if you need to take time off work for treatment and rest?

  • £25,000 cash payout upon diagnosis of a female-specific cancer or carcinoma in situ (an early or non-invasive form of cancer) of the breast
  • Some early stage cancers covered by the policy can usually be easily treated as a day case, such as carcinoma in situ, in which case the benefit payable would be £1,000
  • Access to the WellWoman Care Advisory Service
  • Men can also benefit under this policy. Please contact us on 0800 316 2825 2 for further details of male specific cancers covered under the policy. Please note that different premiums will apply

The WellWoman Plan 5 might be right for you:

  • To help you stay focused on your recovery
    It can be a real struggle to balance your treatment with the demands of your work and family life. The Barclays WellWoman Plan can help to reduce your financial worries. Also, our Care Advisory Service means you always have someone to turn to during this stressful time.
  • Because you may have a history of cancer in your family
    Many women worry about cancer, especially when other members of their family have suffered from the disease. We guarantee that we will not exclude you because of your family's medical history.
  • Because you may be concerned about the 'postcode lottery' for treatment
    If you are concerned about the availability of cancer drugs and treatments where you live, it may be good to know that you could have £25,000 to fall back on should you be diagnosed with a covered cancer.
