Selecting the right combined plan for your Free State household

Choosing the right plan depends on ages in your household, expected GP visits, and tolerance for out-of-pocket costs at time of service. Follow this simple process to compare options and pick a plan that balances monthly affordability with meaningful protection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List expected routine needs: GP visits, dental checks and eyewear replacements per year.
• Estimate hospital risk: Consider planned procedures or family medical history that may require admission.
• Compare combined vs separate plans: If regular GP care matters, a combined plan often reduces total out-of-pocket spending.
• Request a quote and compare plan options to see how monthly premiums align with your budget.

Practical considerations for Free State residents

• Network convenience: Confirm which hospitals and clinicians are included in your plan; use the provider search to verify local access.
• Waiting periods: Note waiting periods for certain benefits and plan accordingly for planned procedures.
• Remote consultations: Use virtual consultations with approved clinicians for quick clinical guidance when appropriate.
