Affordable combined Health Insurance options for the Free State

Finding the best-combined-medical-insurance-free-state means balancing routine out-of-hospital needs with protection for in-hospital events. Affinity Health offers combined plan options that bring day-to-day care together with hospital cover in one budget-friendly plan, designed for young professionals, families with children and retirees living in the Free State.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry network access for common outpatient needs.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, and approved in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Support services: Remote consultations with Healthcare Practitioners and Emergency Medical Response coordination when needed.

Affinity Health’s combined plans are available across our Standard Range and Innovator product line for adults aged 18-54, and also as combined options in Junior (0-17) and Senior (55+) plan groups. To explore the detailed combined plan features and confirm eligibility, review our combined plan overview on the site: Combined Plan details.

Choosing the right combined plan for your household

Deciding between combined plan options starts with family composition and typical care needs. Young families often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for frequent child GP visits and immunisations, while older adults may value higher in-hospital limits. Follow these steps to choose the best-combined-medical-insurance-free-state option for you.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Assess planned procedures: Any foreseen surgeries or hospital stays should push you toward higher hospital benefits.
