If you live in the Free State and are searching for affordable comprehensive health cover, Affinity Health offers plan options that balance everyday healthcare needs with strong in-hospital protection. Our Standard, Junior and Senior ranges plus the Innovator options give Free State individuals, families and professionals a choice of budget-friendly plan options that match common life stages and health priorities.

Who benefits from these plan options?

• Young professionals seeking routine GP access and emergency protection.

Core plan structures explained

Affinity Health separates cover into day-to-day benefits (out-of-hospital) and hospital cover (in-hospital). Combined plans offer both in one budget-friendly option, giving predictable monthly payments and a single point of administration. Learn about day-to-day features on our day-to-day plan page and hospital inclusions on our hospital plan page.

What a combined approach delivers

• Day-to-day: GP consultations, basic dental procedures, optometry network access and coverage for acute medicines where included.
• Hospital: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital diagnostics when required.
• Support services: Remote consultations with healthcare practitioners and Emergency Medical Response when an admission is needed.

Provider access across the Free State

Affinity Health members use a wide network of private hospitals and healthcare practitioners. Check options for local providers and hospital locations to confirm access and convenience before choosing a plan. Use our provider lookup tools to find nearby clinicians and hospitals.

Locate hospitals in your area with the hospital provider finder and verify participating locations for planned admissions or routine appointments.

Choosing the best affordable comprehensive health cover in the Free State

Selecting the right plan depends on household composition, typical use of health services and your monthly budget. Start by deciding whether you need stronger day-to-day benefits for regular GP visits and child care, or higher hospital limits for greater protection against major medical expenses.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List typical needs: expected GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear renewals each year.
• Consider in-hospital risk: planned procedures or higher accident exposure at work or for active family members.
• Match to plan options: compare Standard Range combined plans, Innovator combination plans, or Junior/Senior plans where applicable.
