A super top up policy for my mom

Choose a policy based on the premium and your preference for public insurer or private insurer

My mother (64 years) has a Mediclaim policy of ₹3 lakh from National Insurance. She is a diabetic and hypertensive on medication and under control. She has been with National Insurance for last 11 years and she has made a claim only once for diarrhoea in 2012. I want to buy a super top policy for ₹5 lakh with a deductible of ₹3 lakh (cover offered by the existing insurance policy). Is it possible? From which company should I buy a plan?

You may either go for Apollo Munich Optima Plus or United India Super Top Up Plan. Both are super top up plans that will cover expenses over and above a deductible limit. While the entry age is 80 under United India policy, Apollo Munich allows entry only till 65 years. Choose a policy based on premiums and your preference for a public insurer or private insurer. Premium will depend on your mother's current health condition.
