Why an affordable combination health plan matters in Cape Town

Cape Town residents face the same unpredictable healthcare costs as the rest of South Africa - routine consultations, sudden injuries and in-hospital care. An affordable combination health plan brings day-to-day benefits and in-hospital protection together so you can budget monthly and avoid large out-of-pocket bills during serious events. Affinity Health offers combination options designed for individuals, families with children, young professionals and retirees who want essential protection without premium surprises.

What a combination health plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP visits, basic dentistry and optometry network access through the day-to-day component.
• Hospital benefits: Coverage for in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees and approved in-hospital procedures through the hospital component.
• Convenience: One plan handles routine care and major events, simplifying claims and monthly budgeting.

How Affinity Health structures combination plans

Affinity Health’s Standard Range includes a Combined plan that pairs day-to-day and hospital benefits for working-age adults. For younger members, the Junior Combined option covers children 0-17. Retirees can choose Senior Combined options for members 55 and older. Innovator plans provide additional combined-plan options for individual customers, while Group Cover offers combined options for employers and organisations.
