For buyers looking for IRDAI-standardised plans with uniform features across insurers, ManipalCigna offers the Arogya Sanjeevani Policy (up to ₹10 lakh) and Saral Suraksha Bima (up to ₹1 crore). These are easier to understand than custom plans because the terms are regulator-defined.

Top-Up Plans

The Super Top-Up Policy (₹3-30 lakh sum insured) lets buyers extend total cover at a low marginal premium on top of an existing base policy. Entry from 18 years (no maximum) for adults; 91 days to 23 years for children.

Top-ups are particularly cost-effective for families where an employer already provides a base group cover. Add a ₹15-20 lakh super top-up over an existing ₹5 lakh base for very high total cover at modest premium.
