At its peak, COVID-19 posed varied challenges. For instance, multiple members of the same family were hospitalised at the same time! Naturally, such a situation caused panic at multiple levels. From a financial standpoint, even those with a health insurance policy found it hard to meet the hospital expenses, as their policy’s sum insured was exhausted. This need not be the case all the time because a Super Top-up Health Insurance plan can come to the rescue.

Read ahead to know how ACKO’s Super Top-up Health Insurance Plan can help you during challenging times.

What is Super Top-up Health Insurance?
Jump Tag Icon

A Super Top-up Health Insurance Plan, is a type of plan which you can purchase with or without a primary health insurance policy. All you need to do is set a deductible while buying a Super Top-up Plan. 

The deductible is an amount you must pay before your insurance plan starts covering your approved medical expenses. Then, at the time of claim, you must pay the hospital bill up to this deductible, and the Super Top-up Plan will cover the remaining claim amount. 

Deductibles can be paid by in three different ways:

Let's understand this with the help of an example. 

Super Top-up Example:

Best friends James and Neha bought ACKO Platinum Super Top-up Health Insurance Plans for themselves and their dependents. 

In case of a future claim, James can claim up to Rs. 5 lakhs from his primary health plan and the balance amount from his Super Top-up plan if the expenses exceed the deductible. 

At the same time, Neha must pay Rs. 2 lakh out of her own pocket, and then claim the remaining amount from the Super Top-up plan; since she does not have an existing health plan. 

How does Super Top-up health insurance work?
Jump Tag Icon

A Super Top-up health insurance plan offers benefits similar to a regular health insurance policy. It also covers treatment costs, ambulance charges, etc. The only difference is this plan can be used only when the expenses exceed the set deductible.

For example

Ms B bought a health insurance policy with a sum insured of Rs. 3 lakhs. It covered herself, her spouse, and one child. After some time, she realised that the base plan’s sum insured could be insufficient and decided to buy a Super Top-up Plan with a deductible of Rs. 3 lakh. This new plan offered a usable sum insured of Rs. 4 lakhs.

Unfortunately, the family got into a road accident, and all three members had to be hospitalised for multiple injuries. The hospital bill amounted to Rs. 5 lakhs. Here is how both the plans helped Ms B during the medical emergency.

Parameters Primary health insurance plan Super top-up plan
Sum insured Rs. 3 lakhs Rs. 4 lakhs
Claim honoured Rs. 3 lakhs Rs. 2 lakhs
Remaining sum insured Nil Rs. 2 lakhs

High sum insured
Jump Tag Icon

You can choose between Rs. 25 lakhs, 50 lakhs, one crore, and unlimited sum insured. This way, you will always have a substantial and adequate sum insured with our Super Top-up health plan, should you ever need it. Hospitalisation costs won't be a concern for you because such a high coverage amount ensures that your out-of-pocket expenses are almost non-existent.

Useful add-ons included
Jump Tag Icon

Add-ons are known to increase coverage, but they come at an additional cost. However, this is not true for the ACKO Platinum Super Top-up Health Insurance Policy. Useful add-ons like Non-medical expenses waiver, Room Rent Waiver, and Waiting Period Waiver are already a part of the policy.

Critical illness coverage
Jump Tag Icon

The cost of treating or managing a critical illness like Kidney failure, Cancer, or a Heart attack can be exorbitant. Plus, you must buy a separate medical insurance plan if you wish to safeguard related expenses. But with a high sum insured of our Super Top-up Plan, such costs can be claimed easily. There is no need to spend more on buying a Critical Illness policy.

Coverage for multiple ambulance trips
Jump Tag Icon

You may be responsible for renting an ambulance between your house and the hospital during a medical emergency. This is because insurers usually cover one trip per claim. However, we will pay for all such ambulance journeys for each instance of hospitalisation. The limit for ambulance expenses is up to the sum insured. Such a high limit will sufficiently cover hospital expenses and all the ambulance costs as well.

Domestic emergency evacuation coverage

In a rare case when adequate medical facilities are unavailable locally, we can arrange transportation to a well-equipped hospital via a multi-speciality aircraft, road ambulance, or rail.

Who should opt for Super Top-up health insurance?
Jump Tag Icon

Super top-up plans are the most beneficial to people that belong to high-risk groups. For example, people of the higher age group and those with a worrying medical history, especially critical illness. It is also useful where a specific medical condition is common in a family, like hereditary diseases. 

Buying Super Top-up Plans is also useful for people who have bought a health plan with a lower sum insured. It can prove to be insufficient in case of multiple medical events and may pose a financial risk if the sum insured gets exhausted. The Super Top-up ensures that a higher sum insured is available to cover the maximum cost of treatment.
