Why Choose Affordable Combined Medical Cover?

Managing your health shouldn’t mean sacrificing your savings. South Africans from all walks of life-young professionals, family heads, and retirees-face the challenge of finding affordable cover that pays for both routine check-ups and serious emergencies. A combined day-to-day and hospital plan offers a solution: cost-effective protection for everyday doctor visits and unexpected hospital stays under a single monthly premium.

What Is Included in a Combined Plan?

• Day-to-day benefits: General practitioner consultations, essential acute medicines, approved basic dental services, and annual optometry access.
• Hospital benefits: Cover for accidents, illness admissions, in-hospital procedures, emergency ambulance transport, and selected inpatient diagnostics.
• Personal support: Access to telephonic consultations with healthcare practitioners and guidance for urgent situations any time of day.
