A super top-up health insurance plan reimburses you for medical expenses after you have crossed the coverage limit of your policy. It steps in after you reach a deductible limit, covering costs that exceed that amount. It's like having a backup for when your current plan's coverage runs out.

What is Top-up Health Insurance
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 ClaimWhat 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.
Insurance Policy Pays Excess ClaimWhat is Top-up Health Insurance?
Although both plans are alike in most aspects, they have a certain key difference that you can note in the following table:
| Top-up Health Insurance | Super Top-up Health Insurance |
|---|---|
| Pays the claim if an independent claim exceeds the chosen deductible limit. | Pays the claim if an aggregate value of all claims in a policy year exceeds the chosen deductible limit. |
| Lower Premiums. | Higher than top-up, but lower than regular plan premiums. |
Here’s an example to understand the difference between top-up and super top-up plans:
Policyholder “A” buys top-up health insurance for a sum insured of ₹10 lakhs and a deductible of ₹5 lakhs.
Policyholder “B” buys super top-up health insurance with the same sum insured and deductible. Let us take a look at how the claims would be made:
Incidence of Claim |
Health Insurance Top-up Plan |
Health Insurance Super Top-up Plan |
|---|---|---|
1st claim of ₹2.5 lakhs |
No claim since the deductible limit is ₹5 lakhs | No claim since the deductible limit is ₹5 lakhs |
2nd claim of ₹5 lakhs |
No claim since the deductible limit is ₹5 lakhs | Aggregate claims = 2.5 + 5 = ₹7.5 lakhs Deductible limit = ₹5 lakhs Claim payable = up to ₹2.5 lakhs |
3rd claim of ₹6 lakhs |
Claim = ₹6 lakhs Deductible limit = ₹5 lakhs Claim paid = ₹1 lakh |
Aggregate claims = 2.5 + 5 + 6 = ₹13.5 lakhs Deductible = ₹5 lakhs Claim payable = up to ₹6 lakhs |
