Selecting the right combined plan for your Sandton household

Choosing the best combined medical insurance means matching expected routine needs with the in-hospital protection you value most. Young professionals may prioritise strong outpatient access and remote consultations, while families often seek broader day-to-day benefits for children. Retirees commonly select higher hospital limits with modest day-to-day cover.

Step-by-step selection guide

1. Estimate routine usage: Count expected GP visits, dental and optometry needs per year.
2. Consider household risk: Planned procedures, chronic medication needs or high-activity lifestyles.
3. Review in-hospital limits: Check theatre, ward and approved in-hospital procedure cover to match risk appetite.
4. Compare excess and co-payment choices that influence monthly contributions and out-of-pocket exposure.
