Combined plan solutions tailored for Bloemfontein households

A combined plan brings day-to-day benefits and hospital protection together in one budget-friendly option. For young professionals, families with children and retirees in Bloemfontein, this approach reduces the risk of skipping routine care while ensuring cover for in-hospital events such as surgeries or accident admissions. Affinity Health’s combined plan options are designed to make private health cover more accessible without sacrificing essential protections.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day care: consultations with a Healthcare Practitioner, basic dentistry and optometry network access, and acute medicines up to specified benefit limits.
• Hospital protection: in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital clinician fees and procedures performed in hospital.
• Support services: remote consultations with a Healthcare Practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination when needed.

Why combined plans suit Bloemfontein residents

• Predictable budgeting: one monthly premium covers routine care and major events, helping households plan expenses.
• Family-friendly benefits: child immunisations and frequent GP visits are typically covered under day-to-day benefits in combined plans.
• Access to private care: faster appointments and hospital access for planned procedures or urgent admissions.

Practical cost considerations for Bloemfontein households

• Choose a benefit level that matches typical annual use (number of GP visits, dental check-ups, eyewear needs).
• Consider an excess option to lower the monthly premium while keeping core hospital protection intact.
• Factor in waiting periods for certain benefits and any age-based premium differences for adult members.

Affinity Health’s combined plans are especially relevant for South African families who want predictable monthly costs and access to private care when it matters most.
