Top-up vs super top-up

A cheap way to get high health cover — if you understand the deductible.

How a top-up works

A top-up pays once a single hospitalisation crosses a set 'deductible'. If your deductible is ₹5 lakh, the top-up pays above that for any one claim.

How a super top-up works

A super top-up counts your total hospital bills across the year against the deductible — so multiple smaller claims can together cross it. Usually better value for families.

Which to choose

Pair a modest base plan with a super top-up for high total cover at a low premium. An advisor sizes the base, deductible and top-up together.
