Key takeaways
- Top-up = pays above deductible per single claim; super top-up = across the year.
- Super top-ups are usually better value for families.
- Pair with a modest base plan; set the deductible with an advisor.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is a super top-up worth it?
For most families, yes — it reaches high cover cheaply. The advisor helps you set the deductible correctly.
Do I need a base plan too?
Usually yes, to cover costs below the deductible. The advisor structures both.
