Access to reliable, affordable doctor visits is crucial for individuals and families in East London. Whether you’re a young professional, parent, or retiree, being able to see a Healthcare Practitioner for routine care, minor illnesses, and early intervention can make all the difference. Private health insurance helps you avoid long waits and out-of-pocket costs, giving peace of mind and timely support.
Affordable doctor visit cover suits:
In East London, private doctor visits often cost R350-R550 per consult. Health insurance can reduce or eliminate these fees for covered consultations, helping you prioritise health without stretching your budget.
Affinity Health offers several day-to-day medical cover options tailored for every stage of life:
| Plan Group | Age Range | Starting Monthly Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | 0 - 17 years | R549 |
| Standard | 18 - 54 years | R849 |
| Senior | 55+ years | R1,238 |
These plans offer a set number of GP consultations per year, with direct payment to network Healthcare Practitioners in East London, avoiding claim paperwork and reducing upfront expenses.

A strong provider network makes it easy to access private GPs and support services within your area. Affinity Health’s network includes many participating doctors in East London. To locate participating Healthcare Practitioners near you, use this search tool.
Cost-effectiveness is central in selecting health cover. Without medical insurance, out-of-pocket expenses for private doctor visits, tests, and acute prescription medication can quickly accumulate. Below is a brief cost comparison for a typical year (estimates for an adult):
| Scenario | Estimated Annual Cost |
|---|---|
| 4 routine GP visits (private) | R1,600 - R2,200 |
| Acute medication (out-of-pocket) | R750 - R1,300 |
| Affinity Health Day-to-Day Cover (monthly x 12) | R10,188 (Standard adult) |
While health insurance represents a monthly commitment, it provides significant protection, peace of mind, and support for families facing both routine and unexpected medical needs.
You can pair doctor visit cover with a hospital cover option for more complete protection against major expenses, or explore combined health plans for both day-to-day and in-hospital events.
Review all plan documents thoroughly to understand visit caps, included benefits, and any waiting periods.
