Choose the right combined plan for your household

Selecting the most affordable combined plan depends on family size, ages and expected routine care. Young professionals may favour stronger day-to-day benefits for regular GP visits, while older adults may prioritise higher hospital limits. Affinity Health’s Standard Range and Innovator plans offer different combinations - review both to find the best balance.

Step-by-step selection guide

1. List anticipated routine needs: number of GP visits, dental or optometry needs, and any regular acute medicines.
2. Estimate hospital risk: consider planned procedures or family health history that might require in-hospital care.
3. Compare combined plan options and limits: examine how many GP visits, dental check-ups and in-hospital benefits each plan includes.
4. Request a quote and compare monthly premiums to your household budget.

Provider access and regional convenience

Affinity Health members can use a wide network of private hospitals and healthcare practitioners across the Western Cape. Find nearby hospital providers and confirm which facilities are in your plan’s access network via our provider search: Find a Hospital Provider. For routine out-of-hospital care, locate participating practitioners here: Find a Provider.

Practical considerations for Western Cape households

• Review waiting periods for specific services (for example, maternity or some procedures) before committing to a plan.
• Check benefit limits and any co-payments; lower monthly premiums can mean higher out-of-pocket costs during a claim.
• Use remote clinical consultations where available for fast advice on minor conditions to avoid unnecessary visits.
