How provider access works in East London

Affinity Health members use a wide network of private providers. If you want to check available facilities in the area, view our hospital provider list and find a local practitioner. Knowing which hospitals and clinicians participate helps you plan where you’ll be treated for scheduled procedures or emergency admissions.

Choosing the right plan for your budget and needs

Select a plan based on household composition, expected routine visits and potential in-hospital risks. A simple decision process reduces confusion: prioritise day-to-day benefits if you need frequent GP access, prioritise higher hospital limits if you want stronger protection for admissions, or choose a combined plan for both.

Step-by-step selection guide

1. List anticipated routine visits: GP, dental, optometry and how often they occur per year.
2. Estimate potential hospital needs: any planned procedures or activities with higher injury risk.
3. Compare plan options side-by-side to see monthly costs versus likely out-of-pocket exposure.
