Counter the costs of breast cancer

The prevalence of breast cancer is no secret – but we may not realize all the costs. Even with health insurance, some cancer patients may face out-of-pocket costs of nearly $12,000 for just one drug.1 But patients don’t have to face these challenges alone. Aflac coverage can help clients protect employees from the financial impacts of this devastating disease while encouraging them to have annual screenings for early detection.
