Affordable combined medical insurance designed for Cape Town

If you live or work in Cape Town and are looking for cheap combined medical insurance that covers everyday healthcare and in-hospital events, Affinity Health offers plan options built for individuals, families with children, young professionals and retirees. A combined plan puts day-to-day benefits (GP consultations, basic dentistry and acute medicines) together with hospital benefits (in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees and approved in-hospital procedures) so you get predictable monthly costs and protection against large bills.

Who benefits most in Cape Town?

• Young professionals seeking reliable cover without large premiums.
• Families with children who need regular GP visits and immunisations.
• Retirees wanting in-hospital protection alongside limited day-to-day care.

What a cheap combined plan typically includes

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and network optometry access for routine care.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital scans and procedures.
• Access support: Remote consultations for minor concerns and Emergency Medical Response coordination when needed.

Affinity Health offers combined plans across the Standard Range (ages 18-54), the Innovator range (combination options for adults), Junior combined options (0-17) and Senior combined choices (55+). Learn more about our combined plan structure and which option matches your household by comparing plan details on our combined plan page: Affinity Health - Combined Plan.

Provider access and where you can use your cover

Affinity Health members use a broad network of private hospitals and approved healthcare practitioners across South Africa.

Why choose a budget-friendly combined plan rather than separate covers?

• Simplified billing and one monthly premium to manage household finances.
• Reduced chance of skipping routine care because everyday visits are included.
• Continuity of care between in-hospital treatment and follow-up with your GP or approved clinician.

Compare benefits and choose the right level for your household

Selecting the cheapest combined medical insurance that still meets your needs comes down to family size, ages and expected use of healthcare. Below is a practical comparison to help you decide which plan option to consider.

Quick comparison checklist

• Number of dependants included - children increase day-to-day usage.
• Expected GP visits and dental needs - if frequent, choose stronger day-to-day limits.
• Risk of hospital events - ensure adequate in-hospital limits and approved clinician access.

Step-by-step selection guide

1. List expected routine needs for the next 12 months (GP visits, dental, eyewear).
2. Decide acceptable monthly premium and compare plan options that meet that budget.
3. Confirm waiting periods and any exclusions in plan documents before you apply.

Affinity Health’s Innovator range provides multiple combination plans for adults who want different mixes of day-to-day and hospital cover. If you are comparing single-adult options or family plans, the Innovator and Standard ranges are both worth reviewing. Details and plan comparisons are available on the Innovator page: Affinity Health - Innovator Range.

Cape Town-specific considerations

• Access to private hospitals in the metropolitan area can reduce out-of-pocket expenses for inpatient care.
• Families with young children often prioritise stronger day-to-day benefits for immunisations and frequent GP visits.
• Working professionals may value remote consultations for quick, non-emergency advice before visiting an in-person practitioner.
