How to choose the right level across Gauteng

Selecting the right combined option depends on family size, ages and typical annual use of routine services. Use the steps below to compare options quickly and decide whether priority should be day-to-day allowances or higher in-hospital limits.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Estimate routine use: count annual GP visits, dental check-ups and optical purchases for your household.
• Assess hospital risk: consider potential surgical needs, occupational exposures or plans that could require admission.
• Compare plan options: match expected out-of-pocket exposure for different benefit mixes and excess choices.

Gauteng-specific considerations

• Access to private providers: Gauteng has a broad network of private hospitals and healthcare practitioners; confirm which facilities are available to you.
• Urban lifestyle: commuters and young professionals may favour stronger day-to-day access for quick consultations and remote practitioner advice.
• Family planning: households with young children often prioritise higher day-to-day allowances for frequent GP visits.

If you need to confirm participating providers near you, use our provider finder to check hospitals and other practitioners: Find a Hospital Provider and Find a Provider (non-hospital).

Simple comparison checklist

• Confirm visit limits and benefit caps for routine care.
