Find the best-day-to-day-and-hospital-plan-north-west for your family

A combined day-to-day and hospital plan gives you routine care for GPs, basic dentistry and acute medicines alongside protection for in-hospital events like surgeries, theatre and ward fees. For people and families living in the North West, the right combined plan balances predictable monthly premiums with adequate in-hospital limits and access to private Healthcare Practitioners and hospitals when you need them most.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicines within set limits.

Choosing the best-day-to-day-and-hospital-plan-north-west: practical steps

Selecting the best combined plan is about matching benefits to how your household uses healthcare. Consider family size, ages, any planned procedures and your monthly budget. Below is a step-by-step guide to make the decision easier.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Calculate routine needs: Estimate annual GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear costs.
• Determine risk exposure: Consider likely in-hospital events (surgery, procedures) for the next 12-24 months.
• Compare benefit focus: Prioritise higher day-to-day benefits for young families and stronger hospital limits for older adults.
• Check provider access: Confirm private Healthcare Practitioners and hospitals in your area using our Find a Hospital Provider tool.

Affordability and plan options

Affinity Health structures combined plans so you can select a budget-friendly balance between routine benefits and in-hospital protection. If monthly cash flow is a priority, pick plan options that prioritise core benefits and manage excess choices to reduce premiums. For exact premiums by age and plan, request a quote through the combined plan page and review the current rates before deciding.

How provider access matters in the North West

Availability of private Healthcare Practitioners and participating hospitals impacts wait times and convenience. Use the provider tools to confirm network coverage near your town or workplace. If private practitioners you prefer are included, you’ll typically benefit from faster access to care and smoother hospital admissions when required.

South Africa scenarios and practical guidance

• Young professional: Prioritise robust day-to-day benefits for GP visits and remote consultations, with moderate hospital limits for unexpected events.
• Family with children: Strong day-to-day benefits reduce out-of-pocket costs for frequent child healthcare while hospital benefits protect against major events.
• Retiree or older adult: Higher in-hospital limits are often a priority; balance day-to-day benefits for essential outpatient care.
