National Super Top-up Mediclaim
The National Insurance National Super Top-up Mediclaim plan is designed to provide additional health coverage beyond a base policy, with sum insured options up to ₹80 lakhs and deductibles between ₹2 lakhs and ₹20 lakhs. The plan includes coverage for commonly excluded conditions like HIV/AIDS, bariatric surgery, and maternity (subject to waiting periods), with no room rent restrictions and no co-payment, making it a flexible top-up solution for individuals and families. While buying a super top-up policy can be useful, we recommend that you don’t buy one instead of a standalone health insurance plan. As the name suggests, it’s a top-up; something additional that you buy.
What's good here?

Maternity benefits offered
The insurer will also cover expenses related to maternity — Think hospitalization expenses incurred while giving birth Also, you’ll only get the benefits if both, you and your spouse are enrolled in a single-family floater plan.

You’ll never have to split the bill
The insurer will bear the entire cost of treatment (up to the sum insured). You won’t have to pay a single penny. Meaning this policy has no co-payment.

Pre & Post hospitalization expenses covered
No worries if the doctor had to run a host of diagnostic tests before or after hospitalizing you. The insurer has your back. They will cover this amount in full for a pretty reasonable duration - 30 days before you are hospitalized and 60 days after discharge. This includes the cost of medication by the way.

Covers Alternative Medicine
Think of getting Ayurvedic, Homeopathic or other alternative treatments to cure an illness? Your insurer will cover you fully, up to the sum insured.

You can pick any room you like
Shared room, single room, deluxe room or any room that’s available. The insurer won’t nitpick on your choice of room since the policy has no restrictions on room rent.

Day Care treatments covered
If you’re hospitalized for less than 24 hours in lieu of a minor procedure, then the insurer will cover these costs too. Think dialysis, chemotherapy or minor surgeries.
What's bad here?

No coverage if you are forced to hospitalize at home
The insurer will not cover the costs if you are forced to hospitalize at home due to a medical condition. In insurance lingo, they call this a policy with no domiciliary cover.

What's okay here?

Has disease wise sub-limits
Your insurance cover won’t be fully available in case you are treated for Modern treatments and a few other diseases. Meaning the insurance company has a cap on the total amount they’ll pay out if you are treated for these specific illnesses.

What's lacking here?

No Restoration Benefit
Some policies will tell you - Even after you claim part of the cover on one occasion, you will have the full cover restored, if you are hospitalized another time during the same year. So if you have a family cover and multiple members of the family are hospitalized in the same year, this feature will come in handy. Unfortunately, this policy offers no such benefit.

Underwhelming bonus feature
Your sum insured increases by 5% each year, so long as you make no claims during this period. But before you get too ahead of yourself, do note that they’ll stop offering you the bonus when your sum insured increases by 50%. And while this is a decent deal, most insurance companies offer a much higher bonus. But hey, it's still a bonus.

Your insurer doesn’t provide free health check-ups
If you want to get a full-body checkup just to make sure you’re in fine working condition, be ready to pay for it yourself.
