Choosing the right level for your Western Cape household

Selecting the most suitable combined plan depends on household size, ages and expected use of routine services. Below is a practical checklist to compare plans and decide quickly.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Count routine needs: estimate annual GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements for everyone on the plan.
• Consider hospital risk: factor in any planned procedures or higher occupational risks that might increase the chance of admission.
• Review excess options: higher excess reduces monthly premiums but increases out-of-pocket cost at a claim moment.
• Compare exclusions and waiting periods so there are no surprises when you need care.

Practical South Africa-focused considerations

• Families with children often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent GP visits and immunisations.
• Working professionals may prefer a balanced combined plan with accessible routine care and robust in-hospital limits.
• Retirees typically prioritise higher in-hospital protection while keeping routine care at a sustainable premium.
