Why choose a combined day-to-day and hospital plan in the Free State

Finding the best-day-to-day-and-hospital-plan-free-state means balancing everyday healthcare needs with protection against large in-hospital costs. Affinity Health offers budget-friendly combined plan options designed for young professionals, families with children and retirees in the Free State who want predictable monthly contributions and reliable access to private care.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicines through claimable benefits or network services.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Remote consultations: Virtual and telephonic consultations with registered healthcare practitioners for non-urgent advice and follow-up.

A combined plan removes the guesswork: routine visits are covered under day-to-day benefits while hospital events are handled by the hospital component, reducing the chance of facing a single large payment after an admission.

How Affinity Health supports Free State members

• Clear plan options across age ranges, including Standard Range for adults 18-54 and dedicated options for children and retirees.
• Access to private hospitals and registered healthcare practitioners via our provider listings and support tools.
• Simple application and transparent benefit descriptions for predictable budgeting.
