Budget-friendly combined health cover for the Western Cape

If you live in the Western Cape and are looking for a cheap combination health plan Western Cape residents can rely on, a combined plan (day-to-day plus hospital) is a practical way to protect routine healthcare needs while guarding against large hospital bills. Affinity Health focuses on accessible, lower-cost Health Insurance that helps young professionals, families with children and retirees balance monthly budgets with meaningful benefits.

What a combined plan delivers

• Day-to-day care: routine GP consultations, basic dental and optometry options, and acute medicines where included.
• Hospital protection: cover for in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinical practitioner fees and in-hospital procedures.
• Simple administration: consolidated premiums and one monthly payment for everyday and in-hospital events.

How Affinity Health keeps plans affordable

• Plan options let you prioritise day-to-day benefits and hospital limits to meet your household budget without overpaying.
• Clear benefit structures reduce surprise costs and simplify claim processes for members in the Western Cape.
• Access to a broad provider network helps control out-of-pocket spending while keeping monthly premiums competitive.

Common inclusions and patient journey

• Pre-authorisation for planned in-hospital procedures, with clear guidance on benefits.
• Routine consultations for acute conditions through the day-to-day benefit.
• Emergency Medical Response coordination and hospital admission support when needed.
