Basic cancer plans pay for all of the following EXCEPT:

Basic cancer policies are limited-benefit plans intended to supplement, rather than replace, comprehensive medical coverage. They commonly provide benefits for cancer-specific treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, subject to the policy’s definitions, schedules, and limits. Therefore, choice C is correct because physical therapy is not ordinarily a core cancer-treatment benefit under a basic cancer policy. Physical therapy may be covered under a comprehensive medical plan or under a more expansive supplemental policy if expressly included, but it is not a standard basic cancer-plan benefit. Cancer policies can pay specified amounts for surgery, hospital confinement, physician services, diagnostic testing, drugs, radiation, chemotherapy, or other treatment tied directly to a covered cancer diagnosis. The insured should not assume that every medical expense arising during cancer treatment is covered. Benefits may be subject to waiting periods, preexisting-condition restrictions, recurrence rules, benefit schedules, and exclusions. The appropriate exam distinction is between benefits directly associated with treatment of cancer and general rehabilitative or medical services that are not expressly included in the cancer policy.
