Affordable combination health plan in Durban that balances routine care and in-hospital protection
An affordable combined health plan brings together day-to-day benefits (GP visits, basic dentistry, optometry access and acute medicines) with in-hospital protection (admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures). For Durban residents, this approach helps manage predictable routine costs while protecting against large, unexpected hospital bills.
Who benefits most from a combination plan?
Young professionals in Durban who want GP visits and virtual consultations without risking large hospital expenses.
Families with children who need frequent routine care and reliable hospital protection for accidents or surgery.
Retirees seeking straightforward hospital protection with day-to-day access for regular check-ups and medicines.
Core inclusions to expect
Day-to-day components: GP consultations, basic dentistry limits, optometry network options and acute medicines.
Hospital components: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward costs, approved clinician fees and in-hospital scans or procedures where covered.
Support: Phone and video consultations with healthcare practitioners and Emergency Medical Response coordination where applicable.
Affinity Health’s combined plan framework is designed to remain budget-friendly while providing meaningful protection across both everyday and major medical events.
