How does a Super Top-up Health Insurance work for Senior Citizens?
A top-up health insurance works on a cost-sharing basis. So, for example, if due to a hospitalization, the total expenses amount to Rs 5 lakhs but your senior parents existing health insurance (or your corporate plan) already covers for 3 lakhs of it, then a super top-up health insurance will cover for the remaining 2 lakhs.
