Health Insurance

Health insurance is a policy that covers your medical and hospital expenses when you need treatment. It helps you and your family get the care you need without worrying about the cost. But not all health insurance plans are the same. Choosing the right insurance company can make things a lot easier, and ACKO keeps it simple. Compare ACKO health insurance plans, customise your coverage, and get insured instantly through a fully digital process. Plans start at just Rs. 18/day with zero paperwork and fast claims.

ACKO Platinum Super Top-up Health Plan

Along with the plans above, ACKO also offers the Platinum Super Top-up Health Plan. It is a smart way to increase your coverage without paying for a whole new health insurance policy.

What is a Super Top-up Plan?

A Super Top-up plan is like a backup cover for very large medical bills. It starts paying only after your hospital bills exceed a certain amount, called a deductible. The deductible is the amount you pay first (either from your pocket or through your existing health insurance plan). After that, the Super Top-up plan pays the remaining bill amount. 

This is how the plan works: 

  • If your hospital bill is ₹8 lakh and your deductible is ₹5 lakh:
  • You (or your existing health insurance policy) pay the first ₹5 lakh
  • The Super Top-up plan covers the remaining ₹3 lakh

Since it only steps in for the bigger expenses, a Super Top-up plan costs a lot less than a regular health insurance policy. 

ACKO Platinum Super Top-up Health Plan Sum Insured Options:

The coverage options you can choose from include ₹10 lakh, ₹25 lakh, ₹50 lakh, ₹1 crore, and unlimited coverage.

Built-in Benefits in ACKO Health Insurance Plans (No Add-ons Needed)

ACKO plans already include most of the important benefits by default, so you don't have to rely on multiple add-ons or pay extra premiums. This keeps your coverage simpler, more transparent, and often more affordable.

ACKO Health Insurance Reviews by Malya

We are happy to be associated with Acko Insurance. The discharge process was really seamless, and there was not much waiting time. I feel you are already up to the mark and doing great.

I would suggest considering all social media negative reviews carefully, as one strong review gives more impact. Initially, when I found a review on LinkedIn, I thought you were also another boat to sink, but due to word-of-mouth recommendations, which is powerful, my opinion changed, and I associated with you.

Heartfelt Gratitude for Your Prompt Approval by Navoneel

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the prompt approval during my wife's hospitalisation. Your efficiency played a crucial role in my early discharge, allowing me to recover comfortably at home with my family.

The speed at which you processed my request not only reduced my stress but also reassured me that choosing Acko for my health insurance was indeed the right decision. In times of medical need, having a reliable and supportive insurance provider makes a world of difference, and your seamless service has truly exceeded my expectations.

My family and I are deeply appreciative of the seamless experience and the peace of mind it has given us. Thank you once again for your dedication and commitment to ensuring a smooth and timely process. I will certainly recommend Acko to my friends and family for the exceptional service you provide.
