Affordable combined health insurance tailored for Durban

Choosing the best combined medical insurance in Durban means finding a plan that provides routine out-of-hospital benefits and robust in-hospital protection, while keeping monthly premiums manageable. Affinity Health focuses on accessible, budget-friendly Health Insurance for individuals, families and professionals across South Africa, with specific plan options for young adults, families with children and retirees.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP visits, basic dentistry and optometry network access, plus acute medicines and routine procedures.
• Hospital cover: In-hospital admission costs, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital diagnostic procedures and consultations with authorised clinicians.
• Support services: Remote consultations and emergency medical response coordination where available under your plan.

Why Durban residents choose a combined plan

A combined plan reduces the chance that routine out-of-hospital costs stop you from seeking care, and it protects against large bills from surgery or accident admissions. For families with children, the combined approach keeps preventative and acute care accessible while ensuring hospital events are covered.

How Affinity Health structures combined options

• Clear plan options for different age groups: Junior (0-17), Standard (18-54), Senior (55+) and Innovator options for adults.
• Combined plans bundle day-to-day benefits with hospital limits so you manage one monthly premium and one set of benefits.
• Plan documents explain waiting periods, in-hospital definitions and approved clinician processes to avoid surprises at claim time.

Selecting the right combined plan for Durban lifestyles

Selecting the best combined medical insurance in Durban depends on family size, ages and expected healthcare use.

Retirees typically prioritise higher hospital limits under Senior plan options.

Step-by-step selection guide

• List expected annual routine visits for each family member.
