Why Sandton residents choose comprehensive medical insurance

Living or working in Sandton means access to many private healthcare providers, but ensuring predictable finances for routine care and hospital events remains essential. Comprehensive medical insurance combines day-to-day benefits with in-hospital protection so you and your family can access private Healthcare Practitioners, diagnostic procedures and hospital treatment when it matters most.

How Affinity Health structures combined protection

• Day-to-day benefits: routine GP visits, basic dentistry and optometry network access through specific plan benefits.
• Hospital benefits: in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, and approved in-hospital procedures.
• Plan options: Affinity Health offers Standard Range, Innovator, Junior and Senior plan groups to match age and household needs.

For a quick comparison of combined options, view the Affinity Health Combined plan details and benefits to see what matches your household composition and budget: Affinity Health - Combined Plan. If you prioritise routine visits and immediate access to primary care, review the Day-to-Day plan to understand those inclusions: Affinity Health - Day-to-Day Cover.

Key questions to answer before you compare

• Who will be on the policy? Adults, children or retirees change pricing and benefit needs.
• How often do you expect GP or dental visits per year? That determines day-to-day value.
• Do you want higher hospital limits or lower monthly premiums? Choose plan options accordingly.

Affordability and budget-friendly choices

Affinity Health focuses on budget-friendly plan options across different age groups: Standard Range for working-age adults, Junior for children, and Senior for older members. Selecting higher excess choices or prioritising core hospital limits can reduce monthly premiums while maintaining essential protection for major events.
