To Funding with Life Credit
Treatment may include surgery (esophagectomy), chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy — often in combination. An esophagectomy is a major surgery requiring extended hospitalization and recovery.
Esophageal cancer treatment costs frequently exceed $150,000. The combination of major surgery, chemotherapy, and the need for nutritional support and feeding tubes creates significant financial burden.
If you have a life insurance policy with a death benefit of $75,000 or more, you may be able to borrow against it — without selling it, without monthly payments, and without a credit check.
Unlike a viatical settlement, you don't sell your policy. Your beneficiaries still receive the remaining death benefit.
Receive up to 50% of your death benefit in as few as 3 days. When you're fighting cancer, you can't wait months.
The loan is repaid from the death benefit. You never make a payment. No income requirements, no credit check.
Medical bills, mortgage payments, experimental treatments, travel, childcare — there are no restrictions on how you use the money.
If you meet these basic requirements, you may be eligible for a Living Benefit Loan:
You have a life insurance policy with a death benefit of $75,000 or more (term, whole, universal, or group)
You have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer or another serious medical condition
Your policy is active and premiums are current (or within the grace period)
