Comprehensive protection that fits your Bloemfontein budget

If you live or work in Bloemfontein and want reliable health cover without excessive monthly costs, a combined plan that includes day-to-day benefits plus hospital protection can be the most cost-effective approach. Affinity Health provides budget-friendly plan options for young professionals, growing families, and retirees that keep routine care accessible while protecting against large hospital bills.

What a combined plan includes

• Day-to-day care: GP consultations, selected basic dentistry and optometry benefit access under defined limits.
• Hospital cover: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and care during a hospital stay.
• Support services: Remote consultations and nurse lines for urgent advice, plus assistance with provider authorisations where required.

Why combine day-to-day and hospital protection?

• Predictable monthly budgeting - routine visits and unexpected hospital events are covered under the same plan.
• Reduced out-of-pocket risk for major events while keeping everyday care affordable.
• Single point for claims and authorisations, which simplifies managing family cover.

How affordability works in practice

Affinity Health keeps premiums lower by focusing on core, essential benefits and offering straightforward plan options for individuals, families and retirees. Choosing a plan option that matches your household’s expected usage - for example stronger day-to-day benefits for families with young children, or higher hospital limits for older adults - helps you control monthly outlay while maintaining meaningful protection.

Start with an assessment of required services (regular GP visits, planned procedures, chronic prescriptions) and then compare plan descriptions. For an overview of everyday cover options see the Day-to-Day cover page.

Choosing the right level for your situation

Selecting the most suitable combined option depends on household size, age bands and expected service use. Young professionals may prioritise affordable day-to-day limits and basic hospital protection, while families often need stronger day-to-day benefits for children (immunisations, frequent GP visits).
