If you’re young in South Africa right now, you know the drill: groceries that eat half your salary, rent that looks suspiciously like a bond repayment and medical aid that hits your bank account like a luxury item.
We’re here to change that story. With three smart, affordable plan options, CompCare is proving that healthcare cover can be economical, flexible, and built for real life — whether you’re just starting out, climbing the career ladder, or juggling a growing family. And with healthcare costs skyrocketing (like GP fees, which have risen by 33% since 2020 according to the Competition Commission’s recent Cost of Living Report) it’s time to make a change for the better.
Start smart with DigiCare
For the under-30 crowd, DigiCare is proof that affordable doesn’t (and frankly shouldn’t) mean basic. Freshly launched just last year, DigiCare is holding steady with a 0% increase for 2026. Yes, zero. And at under R1 000 a month, you’re getting cover that actually outperforms the big four competitors in value. Think unlimited virtual doctor visits, 24/7 nurse chat, in-hospital cover at Netcare or Mediclinic, mental health support when life gets you down and even travel and sports injury cover. Plus, the whole thing is app-based, paper-free, and instant — tap, swipe, covered.
Step up with SelfCare Plus
Maybe you’re a young professional, newly married or setting up house for the first time. SelfCare Plus hits the sweet spot of affordability and flexibility. You get unlimited hospital cover, a savings account giving you freedom of choice in your day-to-day care, plus added value benefits just for doing your check-ups – which are covered too, BTW.
There’s also cover for clinical psychology and psychiatry, because mental wellness matters just as much as physical health. With SelfCare Plus, you’e in control — managing your budget while knowing the essentials are taken care of, and that includes your overall wellbeing.
Future-proof your family with SaverCare Plus
Ready for deeper value? SaverCare Plus is your go-to for taking more comprehensive care of your growing family, or simply yourself, as you blaze your way along that career path. SaverCare Plus also offers unlimited hospital cover but takes things up a notch with a more generous Personal Medical Savings Account, plus an Annual Flexi Benefit to stretch personalised day-to-day care further.
What’s more, with our speciality healthcare bundles, your preventative wellness is cared for holistically and at every stage of life, giving you the peace of mind that busy professionals and families crave — without blowing the budget.

Each plan reflects CompCare’s mission: forward-thinking healthcare thatworks with your life, not against it. And because it’s CompCare, you also get access to our digital wellness platform, AI-powered health tools, and tangible added benefits for staying on top of your wellbeing.
