How to choose the right level of cover in Sandton

Selecting the best plan depends on household composition, expected routine visits and appetite for out-of-pocket amounts. Young professionals often benefit from stronger day-to-day benefits and moderate in-hospital limits, while families may prioritise higher day-to-day allowances for children and solid hospital protection for unpredictable events.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List expected routine needs: GP visits, dental care, optical, and common prescriptions per year.
• Estimate risk exposure: Consider sports, travel, or work-related risks that may increase hospital likelihood.
• Compare plan options: Review day-to-day versus hospital benefit levels and projected monthly premiums to find a balanced budget fit.
