Practical, budget-friendly combined health cover in North West

If you live in the North West province and are looking for cheap complete health insurance in North West, a combined plan (day-to-day plus hospital) can give you predictable monthly costs while protecting your family from large in-hospital bills. Affinity Health offers plan options that suit young professionals, families with children, and retirees who want essential protection without high premiums.

What a combined plan covers

• Day-to-day benefits: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry network access, and acute medicines up to benefit limits.
• Hospital benefits: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved medical practitioner fees and in-hospital scans and procedures.
• Support services: Remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner and emergency medical response coordination where applicable.

Why combined cover can be cheaper overall

Combining day-to-day and hospital benefits in one plan reduces the chance that routine care costs force you to delay treatment, while still keeping premiums within reach. Affinity Health’s Standard Range and Innovator options provide different benefit mixes so you can prioritise the services your household uses most.

Compare plan features and sample pricing on our combined plan page to understand which option fits your monthly budget and care needs. For an overview of routine care limits, review the day-to-day page and for in-hospital inclusions consult the hospital plan page to make an informed choice.

How to choose the most affordable combined option for your household

Selecting the right combined plan depends on family size, ages and expected use of routine services. Follow these practical steps to choose an option that keeps premiums low while preserving essential protection.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Count routine needs: Estimate GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements per year for everyone on the plan.
