Choosing the right combined plan for your Polokwane household

Select a combined plan based on family size, ages, routine healthcare usage and your tolerance for out-of-pocket costs. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for child healthcare, while older adults may prioritise higher in-hospital limits. Follow these practical steps to decide.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Estimate routine needs: count expected healthcare practitioner visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year.
• Consider hospital risk: think about planned procedures, activity-related risks, or chronic conditions that may need in-hospital care.
• Compare plan options: match benefit levels to likely out-of-pocket exposure and monthly budget.
