Choosing the right level of protection in the Western Cape

Selecting the best combined or single-cover option depends on household composition, expected routine care needs and your comfort with out-of-pocket contributions. Young professionals may prioritise day-to-day benefits and virtual consultations, while families often choose stronger day-to-day allowances for child healthcare paired with hospital protection for unexpected events. Retirees commonly select plans with higher hospital protection levels.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List expected routine services for the year: GP visits, dentistry and optometry needs.
• Decide how much to protect against major hospital bills versus paying small routine costs out of pocket.
• Compare combined plan options to see which balances monthly premium and in-hospital limits best for your household.
