Choosing the right level for your household

Select based on family size, ages and expected healthcare usage. Young families may prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent GP visits and child care, while older adults often prefer higher in-hospital limits. Follow these simple steps to decide:

Step-by-step selection guide

• List routine needs: number of GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year.
• Estimate in-hospital risk: planned procedures or known conditions that may require admission.
• Compare plan options: review day-to-day and hospital inclusions and confirm waiting periods for relevant benefits.
• Use provider access: verify available Healthcare Practitioners and hospitals in your area using the provider search: Find a Provider.

Local KwaZulu-Natal scenarios and practical considerations

• For coastal communities: consider easy access to primary care and strong day-to-day benefits for family health maintenance.
• For inland or rural households: confirm hospital access and Emergency Medical Response arrangements before choosing higher in-hospital limits.
