Why a combined Health Insurance plan makes sense for Sandton residents

A combined Health Insurance plan bundles routine out-of-hospital benefits with in-hospital protection so you get everyday access to GPs, basic dental and optical services plus cover for theatre and ward costs when admission is required. For young professionals, families with children and retirees in Sandton, this approach balances predictable monthly budgeting with protection against large medical bills.

Key advantages for Sandton individuals and families

• One monthly premium covers both routine consultations and in-hospital events, simplifying household finances.
• Access to private care and faster appointments with approved medical practitioners in the area.
• Plan options that let you prioritise the day-to-day benefits you use most while keeping strong hospital limits.
