Practical Combined Health Cover for Polokwane Residents

A combined health plan brings day-to-day benefits together with hospital cover in one budget-friendly plan. For young professionals, families with children and retirees in Polokwane, the right combined plan reduces the chance of skipping routine appointments while ensuring protection from large in-hospital costs for accidents or planned procedures. Affinity Health offers combined options across our Standard Range, Junior and Senior ranges as well as the Innovator range for individual customers.

What a combined plan includes

Choosing the Best Combined Plan for Your Household

Selecting the best combined health plan depends on family size, ages and routine healthcare usage. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent GP visits and child care, while older adults may prioritise higher in-hospital limits. Follow these practical steps to choose confidently.

Step-by-step decision guide

• Estimate routine care: Count expected GP visits, dental check-ups and optical needs per year to set an appropriate day-to-day allowance.
• Assess hospital risk: Consider planned procedures, occupational risks or sports activities that could lead to admissions.
