Pita ji ka operation hua, hospital ka bill Rs 12 lakh aaya. Haath me thi sirf Rs 5 lakh ki family floater policy, jo company se mili thi aur kabhi badhai nahi gayi.
Baaki Rs 7 lakh savings se dene pade, jo bachon ki padhai ke liye rakhe the. Ye kahani har saal hazaaron parivaaron ki hai. Ilaaj mehnga ho gaya hai, lekin cover wahi purana reh gaya hai. Bada cover lena mehnga lagta hai, isliye log taal dete hain. Lekin ek tareeka hai jisse Rs 5 lakh ke base par Rs 20-25 lakh tak ka cover kam premium me mil jaata hai — use kehte hain super top up health insurance. Isliye super top up health insurance samajhna har parivaar ke liye zaroori hai.
Super Top Up Health Insurance Kya Hai
Super top-up ek aisi health policy hai jo tab kaam karti hai jab saal bhar ke hospital ke kharche ek tay rakam se zyada ho jaayein. Is tay rakam ko deductible kehte hain. Deductible ka matlab hai wo rakam jo pehle aapko ya aapki base policy ko deni hai, uske baad hi super top-up chalu hoga. Aam taur par deductible Rs 1 lakh se Rs 10 lakh ke beech chuna ja sakta hai. Aap apni base policy ki rakam ke barabar deductible chunein to sabse achha rehta hai — jaise base policy Rs 5 lakh ki hai to deductible bhi Rs 5 lakh.
Super top-up sasta kyun hota hai, ye samajhna aasan hai. Insurance company ko pata hai ki wo sirf bade kharchon par hi paisa degi, chhote bill to base policy ya aap khud de denge. Isliye use kam risk hota hai aur premium bhi kam hota hai. Ek Rs 20 lakh ke super top-up ka premium aksar Rs 5 lakh ki nayi base policy ke premium se kaafi kam hota hai, jabki cover chaar guna zyada milta hai. Yehi iski sabse badi taakat hai. Super top up health insurance ki yehi khaasiyat ise aam policy se alag banati hai.
Top-Up Aur Super Top-Up Me Farq
Ye farq samajhna sabse zaroori hai, kyunki naam ek jaise lagte hain lekin kaam alag hai. Saadharan top-up me deductible har ek claim par lagta hai. Super top-up me deductible poore saal ke kul kharche par lagta hai. Example se samajhiye.
Maan lijiye aapki base policy Rs 5 lakh ki hai aur aapne Rs 20 lakh ka super top-up Rs 5 lakh deductible ke saath liya hai. Saal me do baar hospital jaana pada: pehli baar bill Rs 4 lakh, doosri baar Rs 3 lakh. Kul kharcha hua Rs 7 lakh.
Saadharan top-up me har claim alag dekha jaata, dono bill Rs 5 lakh se kam the, isliye top-up kuch nahi deta. Super top-up me poore saal ka kul kharcha dekha jaata hai: Rs 7 lakh me se Rs 5 lakh deductible nikaal dein to bacha Rs 2 lakh, jo super top-up dega. Base policy se Rs 5 lakh mile, super top-up se Rs 2 lakh mile, aur aapko kuch nahi dena pada.
Ek aur example: ek hi baar Rs 15 lakh ka bill aaya. Base policy Rs 5 lakh degi, super top-up baaki Rs 10 lakh dega. Total cover Rs 25 lakh hone ki wajah se poora bill cover ho gaya. Isliye ek se zyada baar hospital jaane wale saal me super top-up saadharan top-up se kahin zyada kaam aata hai. Isliye super top up health insurance chunne se pehle ye farq samajhna zaroori hai.
Kaun Sa Cover Aur Deductible Chunein
Sheher ke hisaab se cover tay karein. Bade sheher (metro) me ICU ke kuch din ka kharcha hi Rs 10 lakh tak pahunch sakta hai, isliye wahan Rs 25 lakh ya usse zyada ka kul cover samajhdaari hai. Chhote sheher me Rs 10-15 lakh ka kul cover kaafi ho sakta hai. Deductible hamesha apni base policy ki rakam ke barabar rakhein, taaki beech me koi gap na rahe. Agar base policy Rs 3 lakh ki hai aur deductible Rs 5 lakh rakh diya, to Rs 3 lakh se Rs 5 lakh ke beech ka hissa aapko apni jeb se dena padega — ye gap sabse badi galti hai.
Ek aur achhi baat ye hai ki super top-up kisi bhi company se liya ja sakta hai, zaroori nahi ki wahi company ho jiski base policy hai. Isliye aap dono ko alag-alag compare karke le sakte hain. Aur haan, super top-up ka premium bhi health insurance premium ki tarah Section 80D ke tahat tax chhoot ke liye gina ja sakta hai, jo ek extra faayda hai. Super top up health insurance me sahi deductible chunna hi sabse bada faisla hai.
Super Top Up Health Insurance Vs Bada Base Policy — Tulna
Bada base policy lene ka matlab hai poora premium zyada dena, kyunki company pehle rupaye se lekar aakhri rupaye tak ka risk leti hai. Super top-up me company sirf bade kharchon ka risk leti hai, isliye premium kam hota hai. Doosra farq ye hai ki base policy badhane par aksar nayi medical jaanch ya waiting period lag sakta hai, jabki super top-up alag policy ki tarah liya ja sakta hai.
Lekin ek sach ye bhi hai ki super top-up base policy ki jagah nahi le sakta — bina base policy ke super top-up ka deductible aapko khud bharna padega, jo mushkil ho sakta hai. Isliye sahi jodi ye hai: ek majboot base policy, uske upar ek bada super top-up.
Waiting period ki baat bhi jaan lijiye. IRDAI ke 2024 ke Master Circular ke baad pehle se maujood bimari (PED) ka waiting period zyada se zyada 36 mahine tak seemit hai. Policy lete waqt waiting period, kya-kya cover hai aur kya nahi, ye sab dhyaan se padhna zaroori hai. Sasta premium dekh kar aisi policy mat lijiye jisme zaroori ilaaj hi cover na ho. Isliye super top up health insurance aur bada base policy ke beech sahi jodi chunna zaroori hai.
Aam Galtiyan — Ye Mat Karna
Sabse badi galti hai deductible ko base policy se zyada rakhna, jisse beech ka gap jeb se bharna padta hai. Doosri galti hai super top-up ko base policy samajh lena aur base policy lena hi chhod dena. Teesri galti hai sirf premium dekh kar policy chunna, bina ye dekhe ki kaun se ilaaj cover hain. Chauthi galti hai claim ke waqt base policy aur super top-up dono ki kagazi kaaryavaahi me deri karna — dono company ko samay par jaankari dena zaroori hai.
Paanchvi galti hai parivaar ke sabhi sadasyon ki umar aur bimari ko dhyaan me rakhe bina cover chunna — buzurg maa-baap ke liye bada cover aur bhi zaroori hai. Super top up health insurance ke niyam samay ke saath badal sakte hain, isliye policy lene se pehle niyam confirm karna samajhdaari hai.
