Super top-up plans for parents

Just like any other insurance policy, every super top-up policy has its own coverage, waiting period and exclusions

My parents (67 and 59) have no health issues. Getting a decent coverage for them with no limit/cap is quite a costly affair. I am planning to get super top-up covers for them. I will pay ₹2 to 3 lakh from my pocket as they are in good health now. Apart from the deductible going from my pocket, are there any disadvantages to this approach? Will I be denied any benefits in super top up?
