Top-up Health Insurance After Claim: Can I Increase Cover With My Exhausted Sum Assured?

I have a health insurance policy, running continued from 2012 without any claim up to 2022. In 2021, I ported it to another company. Unfortunately, this year in April my son was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and required repeated hospitalisation. Expenses were taken care of by the insurance company. Now my doubts are: 1. My son is advised to have an injection every 8 weeks continuously for next 2 years. This is expensive and will be done in PICU as a day-care procedure. It might take 10 to 12 hours for the procedure, to be done in PICU (He is 14 years old). How I can get these expenses covered by my insurance. 2. Is there any limit on number of claims, in a year, as I already have many this year? Is there any possibility, that my insurance company might deny the next renewal due to more number of claims?

 I am an employee of central govt. PSU. My family consists of myself, spouse, two minor children and mother. I am covered by a corporate group medical insurance policy for Rs 2 lakh with an additional emergency coverage of Rs 4 lakh by the employer. I also have a personal Family Floater policy for Rs 3 lakh and a Sr. Ctzn. Policy for Rs 1 lakh. I have not used the personal policies till date for any hospitalisation claim. I am aware that a claim exceeding the corporate policy limit can be claimed in the personal policy. Recently I was made to know that any planned hospitalisation exceeding the corporate claim limit, cannot be done using the second policy. I also know that there is a product called as top up policy which can be used in such cases. I have 8 years of remaining service where there is a medical insurance cover during the period. After retirement, the employer provides a basic policy of 1.5 lakh for the family. The same feels to be insufficient in today’s times. What would be your advice with regards to the existing medical insurance policies and their amounts? Should I need to undertake any tweaking of the policy amounts or switch to a top up policy?

My daughter is suffering from Ewings Sarcoma. Treatment is being carried out under Government Health scheme. We also had a Star Health mediclaim worth Rs 5 lakh on floater basis for a 4 member family includive of my daughter and son. After the discivery of disease i tried for a Top up but could not do it for 4 of us. Rather the 10 lakh top up was taken for 3 of us sans my daughter. The annual premium falls Rs 17000/- for Rs 5 lakh plan and 4000/- for top up for the Rs 10 lakh plan for a year. Since the health scheme is there should i continue any further with the Star Health policy. In Government health scheme the coverage is unlimited but cashless is Rs 2 lakh only.
