Affinity Health offers combined Health Insurance that brings day-to-day care together with in-hospital protection so you can manage routine consultations and avoid large, unexpected hospital bills. Whether you are a young professional, a family with children, or a retiree in Johannesburg, a combined plan can provide predictable monthly costs and access to approved healthcare practitioners when you need them most.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optical network access, and prescribed acute medicines under the day-to-day benefit structure.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees, and selected in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination for qualifying events.

Why Johannesburg residents choose a combined plan

• Predictable budgeting: One premium covers routine care and major hospital events to reduce out-of-pocket surprises.
• Convenient access: Use Affinity Health's provider network to find in-hospital providers and out-of-hospital practitioners across the city.
• Plan options: Choose from Standard Range, Innovator or Combined plans to match ages and household needs, including Junior and Senior ranges where applicable.

Benefit breakdown - what to expect

Affinity Health’s Standard and Innovator plan options allow individuals and families to balance monthly premiums with chosen benefit levels. For children aged 0-17 consider the Junior range; for members 55+ review the Senior range to find appropriate benefit levels.

How to choose the right combined plan for Johannesburg

Selecting the right combined plan depends on your household size, ages, routine care needs and financial comfort with chosen excess levels. Use this practical checklist to compare plans and be confident in your selection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Map routine needs: Estimate annual GP visits, dental checks and eyewear replacement for everyone in the household.
• Assess hospital risk: Consider any planned procedures or known health risks that may require in-hospital care.
• Match plan options: Compare Combined plan variations and Innovator combination plans to see which balances day-to-day and hospital benefits best.
• Check provider access: Use the Find a Provider tool to confirm nearby approved hospital locations and out-of-hospital practitioners before deciding.

Find approved hospital providers near you on our Find a Hospital Provider page, and locate out-of-hospital practitioners via Find a Provider. These tools help ensure you can access care in Johannesburg when required.

Practical Johannesburg scenarios

• Young professionals often prioritise broad day-to-day benefits for routine consultations and remote practitioner support while keeping a solid hospital safety net.
• Families with children typically choose stronger day-to-day cover within a Combined plan to manage frequent GP visits and immunisations.
• Retirees may place higher emphasis on hospital limits and planned procedure coverage while keeping essential day-to-day benefits for routine care.

Provider access and authorisation

Affinity Health supports access to private hospital providers and out-of-hospital practitioners in Johannesburg. Confirm whether a planned admission or procedure requires pre-authorisation by checking the plan terms before treatment to avoid unexpected shortfalls.
