Choosing the right combined plan for your Gauteng household

Selecting the right level depends on household composition, ages and expected use of routine services. A targeted selection process helps you balance monthly premiums and out-of-pocket exposure for larger events.

Step-by-step selection guide

1. List routine needs: estimate GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear requirements per year.
2. Consider hospital risk: review any planned procedures or higher-risk activities that increase likelihood of admission.
3. Compare benefit covers: match daily benefit limits and hospital limits to your expected usage and budget.
4. Review waiting periods and exclusions: understand waiting periods for specific services before relying on cover.

South African scenarios - practical guidance

• Single professional in Johannesburg: prioritise robust day-to-day benefits for GP access and a mid-level hospital limit to protect against unexpected surgery.
• Family with young children in Pretoria: choose strong day-to-day access for frequent child healthcare and a combined hospital limit to cover serious incidents.
• Retiree living in Gauteng: higher hospital limits with conservative day-to-day cover can reduce monthly premium while protecting for major events.
