How Can You Customise Your Health Insurance With Top Up Plans?

With the purchase of the Tata AIG MediCare Plus Plan, you can easily enhance the overall sum insured for your health insurance. Let us understand how this plan can help you customise your health insurance with the help of an example.

Example 1
Ms Ramya had a basic health insurance cover of ₹3 lakhs with Tata AIG. During the first policy year, she met with a severe car accident that left her with a damaged leg needing surgery. The cost of the surgery and the hospitalisation that preceded and succeeded it, along with the expenses associated with medicines and the long rehabilitation process amounted to a total bill of around ₹4.5 lakhs.

Since Ramya's original health insurance coverage was restricted to ₹3 lakh, she could have had to pay ₹1.5 lakhs from her own pockets. However, Ramya was far-sighted and prudent and had, therefore, also invested in a Tata AIG Super Top Up Health Insurance Plan to prepare for such a situation. This plan provided her with additional coverage of ₹2 lakhs, thereby enabling her to be able to manage the remainder of her hospitalisation and rehabilitation expenses.

By choosing a health insurance top-up plan, Ramya had ensured that she had sufficient health insurance coverage to help her deal with any untoward health-related events. Her choice of the plan entitled her to several benefits, including:

1. A higher health insurance coverage at a lower additional premium;
2. Access to cashless insurance at a wide network of hospitals across the nation;
3. The security of a TATA promise;
4. A paperless application and policy delivery that ensured no harm was caused to the planet in the process;
5. The facility of a seamless claims process;
6. Round the clock assistance from the Tata AIG support team;
7. An association with an insurer that has a high claim settlement ratio.

A super top-up health insurance plan helped Ramya wade through the murky and tempestuous waters of an accident, the subsequent surgery, and a difficult recovery without having to worry about how she was going to be able to settle her medical bills.

Not only does our MediCare Plus Plan allow you to enhance your health insurance coverage, but it also ensures that if there are any covers missing in your basic medical insurance plan or a group mediclaim policy, you can have those benefits in your top-up health insurance plan.

Let us understand this with the help of another example. Example 2
Mr Amish was enrolled in a group health insurance plan courtesy of his employment at a multinational corporation. Initially, he thought that this plan was enough to cover any health-related concerns he may have to face. However, when his close friend Gia had a cardiac arrest and underwent a stent insertion, Amish realised that his health insurance coverage was not even scratching the service of his potential health insurance requirements.

Therefore, Amish went ahead and conducted some research on the best top-up health insurance plans in India. He weighed different plans on various parameters, including their coverage, cost, the health insurance claim settlement history of the insurers, etc. He was also thrilled to find out about health insurance tax benefits of which he had hitherto been unaware.

The fact that not only do medical insurance plans, basic and top up alike, provide one health insurance coverage but also offer tax benefits seemed like another reason to opt for a top-up health insurance plan to Amish. With the Tata AIG MediCare Plus Plan, he got several benefits he did not have in his previous policy, including AYUSH benefits and an Optional Global Cover.

By buying a health insurance top-up plan, Ramya and Amish could enhance their medical insurance coverage as well as customise it. You can also do the same and be assured of adequate health insurance coverage with Tata AIG.
