TRANSAMERICA and LIVESTRONG Unite in the Fight Against Cancer

"This innovative coverage from Transamerica presents a remarkable opportunity for employers to promote wellness, and help to ensure that their employees receive the resources and care they need to lead healthy lives before and after a cancer diagnosis," says Randy Clarkson, president of Transamerica's Worksite Marketing division. "We have tremendous respect for the Foundation and what it does to empower people affected by cancer, and we are proud to guide our policyholders to take advantage of the LIVESTRONG SurvivorCare program."

As cancer becomes the world's leading cause of death, improved access to care and practical support immediately after diagnosis will play a significant role in fostering positive, long-term outcomes for patients. Designed as supplemental policies, TRANSAMERICA LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan products are easy to qualify for and provide meaningful benefits to policyholders. SurvivorPlan products provide coverage for many ancillary costs associated with cancer care, including loss of income, travel for treatment, experimental treatment, and spousal and other dependent care. Both the cancer-only and critical illness plans also provide policyholders with the optional benefit of a comprehensive blood screening profile each year at no out-of-pocket cost.

Additionally, when SurvivorPlan certificate holders file a cancer claim, they will receive a letter explaining the additional resources available to them including the LIVESTRONG Guidebook, which provides information and worksheets to help survivors organize, plan and keep track of their cancer experience from the moment of diagnosis, during cancer treatment and after treatment.

By licensing the LIVESTRONG trademark, Transamerica proudly supports the Lance Armstrong Foundation in its mission to fight cancer. For more information on TRANSAMERICA LIVESTRONG SurvivorPlan, visit www.transamericaworksite.com.
