How to choose the right combined plan for your Eastern Cape household

Selecting an affordable day-to-day and hospital plan requires assessing routine needs, risk exposure and monthly budget. Young families generally prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for child healthcare; working professionals may prefer lower day-to-day limits and higher hospital protection for unexpected surgery. Consider these practical steps to choose confidently.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Estimate routine use: Count expected GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear needs for the year.
• Identify in-hospital risk: Consider any likely procedures or higher-risk activities that could require hospital admission.
• Compare benefit combinations: Use the combined plan comparison and the day-to-day overview to match benefits to your budget.

Practical Eastern Cape scenarios

• Young couple starting a family: Prioritise day-to-day benefits for immunisations and GP visits, with moderate hospital limits for childbirth-related admissions.
• Single professional: Lower day-to-day limits, higher hospital protection for surgical events and access to remote consultations for weekday advice.
• Retiree living in a coastal town: Consider higher hospital cover and regular remote consultations for ongoing health monitoring.
