Cancer cover insurance

Does anyone know of any companies who provide Cancer cover where the benefits are the actual treatment, and NOT a cash payment in the event of diagnosis.
I know BUPA do this, but unsure of what others. I did a search on the net, but mostly found companies that provide a cash benefit.

Is it just private medical insurance you are looking for?0

Would you not rather receive say a £50k payout?
This would pay for you to choose which hospital/surgeon you go to, even pay for you to have it abroad and take some time in sunnier climates to recover.
But in answer to your question, it would be PMI (Private medical insurance) as rs65 says.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Wouldn't you prefer something which paid out for other serious illnesses too, such as a stroke, heart attack, MS etc rather than just cancer?I am a mortgage broker.
