Combined health cover that balances everyday care and in-hospital protection

A cheap combined health plan in the Western Cape should give you routine day-to-day benefits for GP visits and basic treatment, plus hospital cover for surgeries, admissions and in-hospital procedures. Affinity Health offers plan options designed to keep monthly premiums manageable while protecting you from larger hospital bills. This page explains what to expect, how plans differ, and how to compare options for Western Cape individuals and families.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry network access, and acute medicines within set visit or benefit limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved consulting clinician fees, and in-hospital scans and procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response coordination when required.

Combining day-to-day and hospital cover in one plan reduces the chance that routine care is skipped and ensures protection for larger, unexpected events. To review Affinity Health's combined plan features, see the Combined Plan overview. If you primarily need routine GP access, learn more about day-to-day benefits here.

Affinity Health groups plans by age and needs: Junior (0-17), Standard and Innovator (18-54), and Senior (55+). Choose the range that matches your household. Budget-friendly choices typically offer lower monthly premiums with reasonable in-hospital limits and clear day-to-day caps to keep costs predictable.
