How CompCare structures its hospital cover
CompCare is a medical scheme registered under the Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998, so every option here funds authorised in-hospital treatment and the Prescribed Minimum Benefits, including the Chronic Disease List conditions. What separates the options is price, which hospitals you may use, and what you pay out of pocket when you are admitted.
Of the 1 CompCare hospital option in our 2026 data set, 0 let you use any private hospital and 1 are restricted to a hospital network. Network options are cheaper for that reason; use a hospital off the list and you can carry a large share of the account yourself. No fixed per-admission co-payment is published on these options.
Contributions are billed per beneficiary. A main member pays the main rate, each adult dependant the adult rate, and each child the child rate — so your monthly cost depends on who you cover, not on a single family price.

Before you choose a CompCare hospital plan
Check the hospital list first
On a network option, the hospital nearest you matters more than the monthly price. Look your hospital up before you commit.
