Affordable combined medical insurance for Western Cape residents

If you live in the Western Cape and want an affordable way to protect your family from large hospital bills while still covering routine healthcare, a combined medical insurance plan can be an effective option. Affinity Health offers budget-friendly plan options that pair day-to-day benefits with in-hospital protection so you get both routine care and cover for major events in one plan.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry network access for everyday needs.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved clinician fees and in-hospital procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations and Emergency Medical Response arrangements where required.

Affinity Health’s combined plan options are designed for people at different life stages - young professionals, families with children, and retirees - and they aim to make private healthcare more accessible across the Western Cape. For a concise overview of the combined product structure and how benefits are paired, see our Combined plan page.

Why choose an affordable combined plan?

• Predictable budgeting: One monthly premium covers routine visits and major in-hospital events, helping households manage cash flow.
• Continuity of care: Routine care encourages early treatment and reduces the risk of avoidable admissions.
• Local access: Use private providers across the Western Cape for faster appointments and treatment access.

How to pick the right combined plan for your household

Choosing the best combined plan depends on family size, ages and expected use of routine services. Young professionals often prioritise strong outpatient benefits for GP visits and remote consultations, while families prioritise day-to-day care for children plus hospital protection for unexpected events.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Review needs: Count expected GP and dental visits, and any likely in-hospital procedures in the year ahead.
• Compare benefit focus: Prioritise higher day-to-day limits for frequent care, or higher in-hospital limits if you need stronger protection for surgery.
• Estimate monthly cost: Use our pricing page and apply your household profile to compare likely premiums.
