Compare plan options and choose what matters most

Selecting the right combined plan depends on household composition, typical healthcare use and monthly budget. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for child healthcare and immunisations, while older adults typically choose higher in-hospital limits and broader inpatient protection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List routine needs: expected GP visits, dental and optical checks per year.
• Estimate risk: consider planned procedures or family health history that may require in-hospital care.
• Compare plan options: review combined benefit levels, any applicable waiting periods and co-payment structure.
