Why a combined health plan makes sense in Gauteng

A combined health plan brings day-to-day care and in-hospital protection together in one budget-friendly Health Insurance option. For Gauteng residents - young professionals, families with children and retirees - a combined plan removes the need to manage separate policies while ensuring access to routine consultations, basic treatments and hospital care when it matters most.

Core benefits you should expect

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optical network access, and cover for acute medicines within benefit limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and selected scans when admitted.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and emergency medical response coordination when required.
