How to pick the cheapest combined plan that still protects your family

Choosing a cheap combined health plan Gauteng-wide means balancing the day-to-day limits you need against in-hospital sums to protect against major bills. Follow a clear selection approach to keep premiums manageable without losing essential protection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Count routine usage: Estimate annual GP visits, dental checks and eyewear replacements to identify required day-to-day limits.
• Assess hospital risk: Consider planned procedures, family age ranges and occupational risks that may need higher in-hospital sums.
• Compare plan options: Use side-by-side benefit comparisons to understand co-payment or excess choices and their impact on monthly premiums.
• Check access: Confirm the provider network and where you can see an approved healthcare practitioner in Gauteng.

For hospital-specific details and provider locations, view the hospital plan information and find local providers: Hospital plan overview and locate nearby practitioners via Find a provider.

South African scenarios - who benefits most

• Young professionals: Prioritise day-to-day access for GP visits and remote consultations while keeping moderate hospital sums.
• Families with children: Stronger day-to-day limits reduce out-of-pocket spend for frequent child healthcare visits.
• Retirees: Higher in-hospital sums and defined day-to-day allowances to limit large hospital exposures.

Practical tips to lower your monthly premium

• Choose benefit levels that match actual usage rather than maximums you won’t use.
• Select higher excess or co-payment where you can afford occasional out-of-pocket costs to reduce premiums.
• Compare combined plans directly on the Affinity Health pages and request a personalised quote to see precise pricing for your household.
