Frequently asked questions

What is super top-up insurance?

Super top-up is additional coverage of upto 1 Crore added to your existing policy. You can avail the additional cover for yourself, and/or for your entire family (self+spouse+2 kids), and/or your parents.

This policy, however, comes with waiting periods on certain critical illnesses and applicable deductibles.

How does super top-up insurance work?

Consider an example where employee Neha's policy covers the employee, her spouse, and her children.

Neha buys a super top-up for her parents with the sum insured as 20 lakhs, and a deductible of 3 lakhs. Neha paid a premium of Rs. 1248 for the year to get the super top-up (624 for her father + 624 for her mother).

Unfortunately, Neha's father runs into a situation where he needs to undergo treatment. Let's say the total hospital bill for the treatment was 7 lakhs.

Since the deductible that Neha opted for is 3 lakhs, she will have to pay 3 lakhs worth of bills out of her own pocket, or the father's sum insured (in case the father has been insured via an external health insurance policy bought separately) first.

Then, for the remaining 4 lakhs, Neha can use the super top-up.
The sum insured via the super top-up is 20 lakhs. Since 4 lakhs has been used up, the super top-up balance becomes 16 lakhs (20 - 4).

If Neha's father is hospitalized again, with a total bill of 10L, she can now directly use the super top-up to settle the entire bill. The super top-up balance becomes 6 lakhs (16 - 10).

What is a deductible?

Deductible refers to the amount paid by the policyholder (via out-of-pocket or other medical insurance policy) before the super top-up kicks in. Read all about how a deductible works here.

Does super top-up cover same-sex or unmarried couples?

Does the super top-up cover have age limits?

Can I buy a super top-up only for my parents?

Yes, parents can be covered in separate individual policies. Please note that you can only purchase a new policy for your parents who are 65 years old or under. However, these policies can be renewed till they are 75 years old. Understand all our different plan types in detail here.

Why should I buy a super top-up for my parents?

As your parents get older, there is the possibility of rising healthcare costs. There is always a chance that your existing health insurance cover may not meet their healthcare expenses. A super top-up can help enhance their existing health insurance cover (which they may have purchased in a personal capacity or may have obtained through your insurance plan) if they don't have any pre-existing conditions.

No, super top-up does not cover maternity.

No - Ayush treatments are not covered by super top-up.

What is the difference between a regular health insurance plan and a super top-up plan?
