Super Top-up Health Insurance

Everything You Need to Know

What is Top-up Health Insurances

In a top-up insurance plan, you choose the sum insured and the deductible limit. Then, if you incur a claim more than your deductible, your top-up medical insurance plan will pay the excess claim. Even in subsequent claims, the expense amount should be more than the deductible to avail of the top-up claim from your policy.  

Insurance Policy Pays Excess Claim

What is a Super Top-up Health Insurance Plan?

A super top-up plan is similar to a top-up plan with one main difference. In a top-up plan, every instance of claim is measured against the deductible limit, and only claims exceeding the deductible are paid. When you buy super top-up health insurance, combined claims made in a policy year are measured against the deductible. If the aggregate value of all claims exceeds the deductible, the excess claim is paid.
