Practical combined medical insurance for Western Cape residents

A combined medical insurance plan covers routine out-of-hospital healthcare as well as in-hospital events in one budget-friendly solution. For people and families in the Western Cape - from young professionals to retirees - this approach helps manage everyday costs like GP visits and basic dentistry while protecting against larger hospital bills from surgery or serious illness.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental check-ups, optometry network access and acute medication for short-term conditions.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital scans and procedures.
• Support services: 24/7 emergency medical response, virtual consultations for immediate advice and claims administration assistance.

Affinity Health offers combined plan options designed to fit varied budgets and family sizes. Review the Combined Plan details to match benefit levels to your household needs and compare how day-to-day benefits complement in-hospital protection by visiting the Combined Plan page.

How combined cover keeps care affordable

• Consolidated premium: One monthly premium manages both routine care and major events for simpler budgeting.
• Benefit prioritisation: Choose stronger day-to-day benefits if you have young children, or higher hospital limits if you anticipate surgical care.
• Controlled out-of-pocket exposure: Select excess options to reduce monthly cost while keeping core protection for serious events.

Who benefits most in the Western Cape

• Young professionals seeking predictable monthly costs and virtual consultations for minor concerns.
• Families who need regular GP visits, childhood immunisations and basic dental care alongside hospital protection.
• Retirees who prioritise in-hospital cover with manageable day-to-day support for routine checks.
