Combined protection for everyday care and serious events

For many Soweto residents, the priority is predictable monthly costs while keeping access to private care when it matters most. A combined plan bundles day-to-day benefits (GP visits, basic dentistry, acute medicines and routine care) with hospital benefits (in-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures). Affinity Health offers budget-friendly combined plan options designed for individuals, families with children, young professionals and retirees.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dental and optometry access, and acute medicine cover up to set limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward costs, approved clinician fees and in-hospital scans and procedures.
• Support services: Virtual consultations with a healthcare practitioner and Emergency Medical Response when required.

Plan groups and who they suit

Affinity Health’s combined plan options are available across multiple plan groups so you can match cover to age and circumstances:

• Junior (0-17 years): One combined plan tailored for children and adolescents - ideal for families with young dependants.
• Standard Range (18-54 years): One combined plan aimed at working-age adults seeking core benefits at lower cost.
• Senior (55+ years): A combined option for retirees who need both routine care and in-hospital protection.
• Innovator (18-54 years): Six combination plans offering varying benefit balances for individuals wanting more choice.
• Group Cover: Combination plans available only to employer groups and organisations.
