Key Benefits
Why the WellWoman Plan might be right for you:
To help you stay focused on your recovery
Survival rates for cancer are increasing all the time but it can be a real struggle to balance your treatment with the demands of your work and family life. The Barclays WellWoman Plan can help to reduce your financial worries and the Care Advisory Service means that you will always have someone to turn to for support and information during such a stressful time.
Because you may have a history of cancer in your family
Many women worry about cancer, especially when other members of their family have suffered from the disease. We guarantee that we will not exclude you due to your family’s medical history.
Because you may be concerned about the ‘postcode lottery’ for cancer treatment
If you are concerned about the availability of cancer drugs and treatments where you live, it may be good to know that you could have £25,000 to fall back on should you be diagnosed with a covered cancer.

How to claim: Getting the money to you
The aim of the WellWoman Plan is to get financial help to you as soon as possible following diagnosis of a cancer covered by the Plan.
To claim, you simply need to contact Barclays as soon as reasonably practical after diagnosis which is likely to lead to a claim. You can call 0845 677 0089**
We will send you a claim form and ask you to provide some information and evidence that supports the diagnosis of cancer, including a histopathological report on your cells and tissues.
If we need you to have a medical examination we will pay the cost of it plus reasonable travel costs, if you agree them with us beforehand.
