Super top-up is a feature by Pazcare that lets you do two things.
- Increases your insurance coverage
- Allows you to add more people to the policy
Super top is only available for Pazcare customers. You can use this feature only when your organization is offering group health insurance to you provided by Pazcare.
How does super top-up work?
Assume that your company is providing insurance worth 5 lakh only to employees. Parents or any dependents are not covered.
Case 1 - Increase premium
Your colleague Angad feels it is safe to have a bigger coverage. He can increase his coverage up to 20 lakhs using the super top-up feature and pay a small yearly premium.
Case 2 - Add members
Angad has parents (mom and dad) aged 52 and 53 respectively. His parents don’t have health insurance personally. But Angad is covered in the group health policy provided by your organization. Angad can easily add both his parents using the super top-up feature to his policy by paying a yearly premium.
The premium for super top-up is solely paid by you, the employee.
How to get super top-up?
You can get super top-up using the Pazcare app or employee dashboard. Before buying, you need to choose a deductible. A deductible is an amount you pay before your insurance coverage kicks in.
Example for case 1 - Claiming for yourself
Angad has a 5L coverage and then gets a 20L super top up with a 3L deductible. Let’s say he gets hospitalized 1st time and the whole of 5L is used in a cashless claim. He gets hospitalized for 2nd time and the hospital bill is 14L. So here he must pay the 3L deductible and then the remaining 11L is paid by the insurer. The next time he gets hospitalized, he doesn’t have to pay any deductible. There’s 9L left in the super top-up coverage that he can use.
If Angad hadn’t been hospitalized the 1st time, he can use his existing health insurance as a deductible. That is, from the 5L cover of the existing insurance, 3L would be deductible, remaining 2L + super top-up 20L is available for claims.
Example for case 2 - Claiming for your dependents
When Angad’s mom gets hospitalized, the bill comes up to 18L. In this case, the 3L deductible has to be paid by Angad and the insurer will pay 15L. The remaining 5L is for the next hospitalization.
You can choose the deductible you want to pay. The higher the deductible, the lesser will be your premium.
There are multiple ways to buy super top-up for your family
- You can buy a family floater cover which by default covers 2 children and 2 adults. You can add more dependents to this floater as well. You can’t add parents to your family floater policy as the premium will shoot up for the elderly.
- You get a single floater cover for both your parents or in-laws. However, you can’t have a mix of 1 parent and 1 in-law in a floater policy.
- You can get an individual policy for any of your dependents

In short, to buy super top-up from Pazcare, you need to
- Choose what kind of policy you want
- Add dependents if not already added
- Choose a deductible
- Read terms and conditions
- Make the payment
