Comparing combined plans - what to look for in Gqeberha

When comparing combined medical insurance options, assess the balance between day-to-day limits and in-hospital limits, any waiting periods that apply to specific benefits, and the choice of excess that affects your monthly contribution. Consider typical household use: small children usually need stronger day-to-day benefits, while older adults may prioritise larger in-hospital limits.

Practical checklist before you join

• Count expected GP and dental visits per year for all household members.
• Estimate potential planned procedures or seasonal risks that could lead to hospital admissions.
• Review waiting periods for maternity or specific procedures and factor these into timing decisions.
• Confirm whether your preferred healthcare practitioners appear in the provider directory; search hospitals via our Find a Hospital Provider tool.
