It can be considered as a safety net which helps you in case you exceed certain limits. Under a normal health insurance plans, the insurer pays the amount which an individual is insured for, but there could be cases when the expenses exceed this amount, which is where a top-up plan comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>In simple words, a Top-up health insurance policy provides protection after the basic threshold limit under a normal policy is breached.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pull-right top-pad btm-pad tax-img-responsive\"><\/div>\n<h2>What is a Super Top-up Health Insurance Plans?<\/h2>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>Top-up insurance policy<\/strong>\u00a0has certain drawbacks when it comes to its implementation, which can be resolved by opting for a Super Top-Up policy. Unlike a Top-up plan which pays only if the threshold limit on a regular policy is exceeded on a single hospitalization, a Super Top-up provides cover over the threshold limit in multiple cases.<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, a Super Top-up Health Insurance policy has provisions for multiple claims, which are not offered by a regular top-up plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Points to Remember:<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few key points which one should be familiar with before they consider a top-up or\u00a0super top-up health plans.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deductible<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Deductible, in this context refers to a base amount over which a top-up or super top-up policy comes into force. For example, Mr. Krishna has a normal health insurance policy of Rs 3 lakh and a top-up\/super top-up policy of Rs 7 lakh with the deductible set at Rs 3 lakh. In this case, his top-up\/super top-up plan will come into force only if the bill is over and above Rs 3 lakhs. If the bill is under Rs 3 lakh, i.e. below deductible, no benefit will be paid through the top-up\/super top-up plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Base plan<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 While it is not mandatory for an individual to have a base health insurance plans in order to avail a top-up\/super top-up, it is recommended that a base plan is in place to cover amounts below the deductible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower premium<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 One can get a top-up health insurance policy at lower premiums, with the premium amount depending on the deductible. A higher deductible results in a lower premium and vice-versa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Top-up Vs Super Top-up Health Insurance Policies:<\/h2>\n<p>While similar in concept, there are a few key differences between a top-up and super top-up health policy, as highlighted in the table below.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-curved\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Parameter<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Top-up policy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Super top-up policy<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Working basis<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Works on the principle of \u201cper claim\u201d or \u201cper hospitalization\u201d<\/td>\n<td>Multiple claims are permitted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Lapse on claim<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Policy lapses after 1 claim for the cover provided<\/td>\n<td>Policy lapses when the entire cover is exhausted (multiple claims entertained)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Settlement<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Settles claim only if single bill amount is over and above the deductible<\/td>\n<td>Settles claim if total bill amount exceeds the deductible limit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Rakesh has a Top-up and Super Top-up health policy with Rs 10 lakh cover and a regular policy with a cover of Rs 5 lakh.
