No u can’t. Ur top-up policy will trigger only after achieving deductible amount (which u will choose as 5 lacs as ur base policy is of 5 lacs).

Dr I have one query
Top up policy triggers on basis of actual bills or the bill amounts accepted by base policy company.

For example,suppose I have base policy of 2 lakh(I know rare) and top up of 10 lakh(with deductible 1 lakh).
Person undergoes hospitalisation for cataract in both eyes making total bill of 2 lakh. But base policy only pays 1lakh(only one eye allowed, or some other limit in document).
Here, I can still claim from top up policy company right?(because deductible was 1 lakh)

But there would be issue of producing bills I think as base policy company would take all bills, although we need to ask for attested copies from them
