Practical combined cover for Johannesburg households

A combination health plan brings day-to-day care together with hospital protection in one budget-friendly plan. For young professionals, families with children and retirees in Johannesburg, this approach reduces the risk of skipping routine care while ensuring major in-hospital costs are managed. Affinity Health offers combined plan options across age ranges, designed to suit different healthcare needs and monthly budgets.

Who benefits most from a combination plan?

• Young professionals wanting affordable routine GP visits plus emergency hospital protection.
• Families with children who need frequent day-to-day consultations, basic dentistry and hospital cover for serious events.
• Retirees seeking reliable in-hospital protection with some out-of-hospital benefits for regular check-ups.

What a combination plan typically includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry, optometry network access and acute medicines through the plan's outpatient benefits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved medical practitioner fees and in-hospital procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations for quick clinical advice and Emergency Medical Response when required.
