Practical combined cover for East London families and professionals

If you live or work in East London and want consolidated protection for everyday healthcare plus in-hospital events, a combined plan brings both day-to-day benefits and hospital cover into a single, budget-friendly solution. Affinity Health has designed plan options that suit young professionals, families with children and retirees who need predictable monthly costs and access to private care when it matters most.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: consultations with approved consulting practitioners, basic dentistry, optometry network access and acute medicines within defined limits.
• Hospital benefits: in-hospital treatment, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and selected in-hospital procedures.
• Support services: remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination for qualifying events.

Why this matters for East London

Private care access reduces waiting times and gives you more control over where and when to receive treatment. For many households in East London, combining day-to-day and hospital protection means routine care no longer competes with saving for potential inpatient costs. Compare plan structures and limits to match expected annual usage and household risk.

How to compare available combined plans

• Check day-to-day benefit limits and visit allowances against your expected GP, dental and optometry use.
• Confirm hospital cover limits and what in-hospital procedures are included for planned and unplanned admissions.
• Review waiting periods and any co-payment structure so monthly budgeting is predictable.
