Affordable combined health cover tailored for the Free State

If you live or work in the Free State and are searching for a cheap combination health plan, Affinity Health offers clear, budget-friendly plan options that bundle day-to-day care with hospital protection. A combined plan helps families, young professionals and retirees manage routine GP visits, basic dental and optical needs while providing protection against large in-hospital costs from accidents or surgery. Choosing the right combination reduces the chance that everyday care is skipped and ensures major events are covered.

What a combination plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optical care within plan limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, and approved hospital procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a qualified healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response where applicable.

Affinity Health structures combined options so you can prioritise the benefits that matter most to your household. For details on the combined benefit structure and available plan choices, review the Combined plan overview. If you mainly need routine care, compare day-to-day-only options via our Day-to-Day plan information to see how combining changes your monthly budget and out-of-pocket exposure.

How a cheap combination health plan can work for different people

• Young professionals: Keep monthly premiums low while retaining hospital protection for accidents or surgery.
• Families with children: Strong day-to-day benefits reduce out-of-pocket costs for GP visits and basic dentistry.
• Retirees and older adults: Prioritise higher hospital limits while maintaining essential day-to-day access.
