Practical steps to choose a cheap but meaningful plan

Selecting a cost-effective plan is about balancing expected routine usage, potential risk of hospital events and your monthly budget. Follow these steps to make a confident choice.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Inventory routine needs: estimate GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year.
• Assess risk exposure: consider age, occupational risks and any planned surgeries or procedures.
• Match plan options: choose day-to-day, hospital or combined plans according to likely use and budget.
• Compare excess choices: higher excess can reduce premiums but increases out-of-pocket cost if a claim occurs.

South African scenarios where budget-friendly cover matters

• Young professionals: prioritise robust day-to-day benefits for regular GP access and acute medicines.
• Families with children: balanced combined plans help manage frequent child GP visits while protecting against accidents.
• Retirees: consider higher hospital limits while keeping day-to-day benefits to cover routine monitoring.
