National Top Up Plan: Key Features and Benefits

The following is a summary of the benefits you will receive once you top up National health insurance plans:

• Alternative Treatments

As a collaborative initiative with various medical institutions, National health insurance super top up plans are now bringing them together under one umbrella for you to get access to affordable and quality treatment. All these alternative treatment procedures are covered up to the total sum insured amount. 

• Advanced Treatments

Patients in India are increasingly seeing the need for advanced medical treatments and procedures. This can be due in part to a rapid increase in the number of patients relying on affordable healthcare services. This has led to a rise of new products, like robotics medical treatment, helping improve the quality and speed of patient care. National health insurance super top up plans offer 12 modern treatment coverages like oral chemotherapy, robotic surgery, immunotherapy and others.

• Quick Claim Settlements

The National health super top up policy offers fast and convenient claims settlement. For a long time, customers had to wait for their insurance benefits to be processed and paid out by their current insurance provider. This could lead to a delay in receiving funds which were originally intended for you. But now with the introduction of this new policy, it allows you to claim your money much faster than before - with no waiting period at all!

Income Tax Act Section 80D offers tax breaks to policyholders who are paying health insurance premiums.
