Choosing the right level of protection in Polokwane

Select a plan based on family size, ages and likely use of healthcare. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent child GP visits, while older adults may prioritise higher hospital limits. Below are practical steps to decide and examples of what to consider.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List routine needs: Count expected GP visits, dental check-ups and optical replacements per year.
• Assess planned procedures: Factor in any scheduled operations or known health risks that could require hospital admission.
• Compare plan options: Look at combined plan inclusions, waiting periods and excess choices to estimate monthly out-of-pocket exposure.

Practical South Africa considerations
