A top-up health insurance plan is an indemnity policy that provides additional medical coverage to people with an existing health insurance policy or an employer mediclaim policy. It allows people to get their medical expenses covered even if they have exhausted the sum insured of their regular health insurance policy. However, a top-up plan comes with a mandatory deductible and provides coverage only after the insured has paid the deductible amount.
If your current policy has a sum assured limit of 6 Lakh and you get a top-up plan of Rs. 8 Lakh. Once your existing sum assured is exhausted then you can use your top-up plan. So, if you have registered a claim of Rs. 9 Lakh then your basic sum assured of Rs. 6 Lakh will be used and the remaining Rs.3 Lakh will be used from your top-up plan. And if the claim you file is more than 12 Lakh then the remaining amount shall be paid from your own pocket.
