What Is Super Top-Up Insurance?
A super top-up health insurance policy pays for medical expenses once your total hospitalisation claims in a policy year exceed a chosen limit, called the deductible.
For example, with a deductible of ₹5 lakh and a super top-up of ₹20 lakh, the first ₹5 lakh of claims in a year is paid by you or your base policy, and the super top-up covers the balance up to ₹20 lakh.
Because the insurer pays only after the deductible, premiums are much lower than for an equivalent base policy — making super top-ups one of the most cost-effective ways to achieve high health cover.
Why Do You Need a Super Top-Up?
Low Premium, High Cover
Large covers are available at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent base policy.
Aggregate Deductible
Unlike a regular top-up, all claims in the policy year are added together to meet the deductible.
Complements Employer Cover
Works well on top of a corporate or personal base policy.
Protection Against Large Bills
Safeguards against major illnesses, surgeries and long hospital stays.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a top-up and a super top-up?
A top-up applies the deductible to each claim separately; a super top-up applies it to the total of all claims in the policy year.
Do I need a base policy?
It is not mandatory, but the deductible must be paid by you or by a base policy before the super top-up pays.
How do I choose the deductible?
Ideally equal to the sum insured of your base or employer policy, so there is no gap in cover.
Are waiting periods applicable?
Yes. Super top-ups have their own waiting periods for pre-existing diseases and specific illnesses.
Can I buy a super top-up from a different insurer?
Yes. Your base policy and super top-up can be from different insurers.
