Top Up Health Insurance
Boost your existing health coverage with TATA AIG's MediCare Plus!
Our top-up health insurance plan, MediCare Plus, is a pocket-friendly health companion you can always rely on. MediCare plus offers additional health benefits over and above your regular health insurance plan. Super top-up plans are crucial as they provide you with coverage after you’ve maxed out the claims against your regular health insurance policy. But that isn’t the only reason why they’re a good idea.
When you make claims against your base health insurance policy, each claim amount needs to be more than the deductible amount. With our MediCare Plus health insurance policy, you can benefit from aggregate deductibles. This means that the total amount of all the claims you make in a policy year should be more than the deductible amount. On the other hand, base health insurance policies have a deductible against every claim you make.
Should you opt for MediCare Plus as your super top-up health insurance plan, you can also enjoy these amazing benefits:
Health Cover
Our super top-up health insurance policy will help you take care of the cost of various healthcare treatments. Our plans come without sub-limits unless they’re explicitly mentioned in your health insurance policy documents.
Cashless Claims
TATA AIG has over 8,000 network hospitals, so you can enjoy cashless claims at most facilities.
Age No Bar
We offer life-long renewals with MediCare Plus! So, whether your 60, 70 or 80, you can continue to pay your premiums on time and enjoy additional health cover.
Consumables Benefit
Under the Consumables Benefit we’ll cover the cost of consumables that you need during your hospitalisation that are directly related to a covered treatment.
Cumulative Bonus
For every year that you go without a claim, we’ll provide you with a bonus by bumping up your sum insured the following year. We start with a 50% bonus and increase it each year, up to a maximum of 100% of the sum insured amount.
Tax Deductions
Under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961, you can claim deductions up to INR 75,000 for the premiums paid towards the upkeep of health insurance policies for yourself, your spouse, your children and your parents above the age of 60. To understand health insurance tax benefits, we've curated an indepth guide to help you save on taxes by the purchase of a health insurance plan. #Please note tax benefits are subject to change in Income Tax laws.
Optional Global Cover
If you’d ever like to seek treatment abroad, this optional cover is great for you. With this cover, we’ll help you take care of the cost of treatments abroad for a disease or illness that was diagnosed in India and for which you’ve specifically travelled for the purpose of treatment.
How Does Super Top Up Health Insurance Work?
We can truly understand the importance of having super top-up health insurance by looking at an example.
Let’s say Mr. Kumar has a base health insurance policy from his company that offers him a sum insured of INR 5 lakhs. He meets with a terrible accident and is admitted in the hospital for treatment. At the end of his hospitalization, the claim amount is a total of INR 7 lakhs. Mr. Kumar’s health insurance policy will pay the claim amount of INR 5 lakhs, but Mr. Kumar would have to pay the remaining amount of INR 2 lakhs. If Mr. Kumar has a super top-up health policy that offers cover for INR 10 lakhs, his super top-up policy will cover the balance amount of INR 2 lakhs.
You can also use super top-up health insurance plans in isolation. If we continue with the above example, let’s say Mr. Kumar paid the pending amount of INR 2 lakhs from his own pocket. For the rest of the year, he has a few other health issues and makes claims against his policy. Let’s see how this plan helps Mr. Kumar if we assume his top-up plan offers cover of INR 10 lakhs and has a deductible of INR 2 lakhs. The first claim he makes against the super top-up policy is for INR 4 lakhs. He pays the deductible of INR 2 lakhs and the policy covers the rest. The next time, he has to make a claim for INR 3 lakhs. This time, he doesn’t have to pay any deductible and the full amount is settled by the health insurance provider. Finally, Mr. Kumar makes another claim for INR 2 lakhs. Once again, he doesn’t have to pay any deductible and the full amount is provided by the insurance provider.
Why Should I Buy TATA AIG’s Super Top Up Health Insurance ?
Paying premiums for the upkeep of a single health insurance policy may seem like enough. Shelling out more money for additional cover under a super top-up plan may appear to be unnecessary. But, life is unpredictable and rising medical costs could end up costing us our savings. Here’s a look at some important reasons why you need to have super top-up health insurance:
Medical Inflation
Medical inflation is rising almost twice as fast as regular inflation. Basically, healthcare costs are growing at an alarming rate, making it difficult for many people to afford good healthcare. A super top-up plan will help alleviate the trouble of dealing with high medical costs.
Higher Cover
The main reason super top-ups plans are offered is to increase your health insurance cover. These plans allow you to enjoy higher sum insured amounts at fairly affordable rates.
Pocket-Friendly
Since super top-up plans work as additional cover to your existing health insurance policy, they’re quite affordable. This means you can get higher cover for pocket-friendly premium amounts. This is especially important if you’re purchasing the plan for your parents as premiums for senior citizens are often quite high.
Your Friend in Times of Need
After experiencing what the world looks like in a pandemic, we’re sure you want to do whatever you can to get the best healthcare you need in an emergency. With a super top-up health insurance plan, you don’t have to worry too much about the cost. You can get the care you need and leave the bills to us.
More Benefits
If you’re covered under a group health insurance policy, chances are you might not get cover for AYUSH treatments or other critical illnesses. With a super top-up plan, you can get the cover you want for a fraction of the cost.
Who Should Buy a Super Top-Up Health Insurance Plan?
Not sure whether a super top-up health insurance plan is the right choice for you? Here’s a look at the people who should definitely consider opting for a super top-up health insurance plan:
The Corporate Policy Holder
If you’re covered under a group insurance policy, you may not have adequate cover. Sure, your regular policy will take care of the small stuff, but if anything bigger comes your way, you need a super top-up plan in your corner. The policy will boost your sum insured without burning a hole in your pocket.
The Elderly
As you grow older, your health insurance premiums are likely to increase. If you’re purchasing health insurance for your parents for the first time, their premiums will be much higher than yours, even if you’re opting for the same sum insured. So, you can opt for a policy that offers lower cover and then increase their overall health cover with a super top-up plan instead. It’s lighter on your pocket and makes sure your parents have the kind of cover they need.
The Limited Coverage Policy Holder
There are many people who purchase fairly basic health insurance policies since they’re affordable. These plans may cover only basic hospitalization expenses. If you’ve purchased such a plan but want better cover, you can opt for a super top-up instead of switching to a comprehensive health insurance policy. You’ll get similar benefits for a far more pocket-friendly price tag.

Understanding Health Insurance Terms
- Co-Pay If you’d like to lower your health insurance premium, you can opt for co-payment. You can promise to pay a certain percentage of each claim you make against your medical insurance policy, and your insurance provider will take care of the rest. If you’d like your insurance provider to settle the full claim, you can opt-out of co-payment.
- Deductible This is a fixed amount that the insured individual has to pay towards their medical treatments before they can file a claim with their insurance provider. The deductible is a fixed amount and not a percentage of the total claim amount. Let’s assume that your deductible is INR 5,000. In a policy year, you undergo treatment worth INR 50,000. You have to pay INR 5,000 before you can make a claim for the balance amount of INR 45,000.
- Pre-Existing Disease If the individual purchasing insurance already suffers from any disease, it is called a pre-existing diseases. The individual can purchase their medical insurance policy, but the pre-existing disease will only be covered after a given waiting period.
- Sum Insured Your sum insured refers to the maximum amount that your insurance provider will pay in a given policy year. It basically reflects the total value of your policy. You can choose your sum insured when you purchase your health insurance policy. But, you should remember that the amount you choose will directly impact your premium.
- Waiting Period The waiting period is a specific amount of time during which insured individuals cannot make certain claims against their health insurance policies. There are different waiting periods defined for different issues. The first is the initial waiting period. This is the time you must wait before making a non-accidental claim after purchasing the health insurance policy. The second is a waiting period for pre-existing illnesses. This can range from anywhere between 2 to 5 years. The third waiting period is for specific illnesses. Some health issues such as hernia or ENT disorders will only be covered after a few years of cover. Generally, the waiting period for these issues is 2 years. The final waiting period is for maternity cover. Most health insurance policies will cover maternity expenses only after a few years.
