    Frequently asked questions

    Here are a few questions we've answered for your clients.

    Can your clients receive cancer treatment at home?

    We cover the use of eligible home chemotherapy, such as tablets, injections and infusions, as well as biological and bisphosphonate therapies. To give your clients more choice they can also be treated at home at any point during their care as long as their consultant agrees – for example, they can start treatment in hospital and decide to go home, or vice versa.

    Do you provide cover for all types of cancer?

    Yes. We also provide cover for primary and any secondary cancers, if the cancer spreads during treatment.

    Does Vitality cover cancer drugs that haven't yet been approved by NICE?

    If there’s enough evidence of their effectiveness, we cover the use of new drugs or other treatments, even if they’ve not yet been reviewed or recommended by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). However, we don't cover the use of drugs outside the terms of their licence in the UK; or experimental drugs with no evidence of effectiveness; or any treatment not considered clinically appropriate in the UK.

    What if the client's cancer can't be treated?

    If your client has Advanced Cancer Cover and the cancer is no longer treatable, we pay for palliative care in hospital as well as nursing care to relieve their symptoms, including pain relief at the end stage, up to a maximum of £1,000 a day for 14 days.

    • Recover – group-based and one-on-one consultations to help manage the psychological, physical and emotional side effects that often come with treatment and recovery.
