Choosing the Right Level of Cover for Your Household

Selecting the right family cover depends on ages, expected routine use and risk exposure. Young families often prioritise robust day-to-day benefits for frequent child healthcare, while households with older adults may prioritise higher hospital limits. Below is a practical selection guide and South African scenarios to help you decide.

Step-by-step selection guide

• Assess routine needs: Estimate annual GP visits, dental check-ups and eyewear replacements across family members.
• Consider major-event risk: Factor in planned procedures, occupational risks or sports-related injuries.
• Match plan options: Compare combined plans and day-to-day levels to see which minimises likely out-of-pocket costs.

Practical South African use cases (no personal examples)

• Young urban family: Prioritise day-to-day benefits for child immunisations and GP access, paired with mid-level in-hospital protection for unexpected surgical events.
• Pre-retirement couple: Choose higher in-hospital limits to protect against surgical admissions while keeping basic day-to-day benefits for routine care.

Affinity Health offers suitable plan options across age groups: the Standard Range for adults aged 18-54 and the Junior range for children 0-17. Review the Standard Range and Day-to-Day details to compare benefit focus and limits on the Day-to-Day cover page and the Hospital plan page.

Comparing cost vs protection - practical tips

• Estimate your yearly routine spend without cover and compare it to projected monthly premiums to judge value.
• Choose higher day-to-day benefits if routine care would otherwise cause skipped appointments.
• Prioritise in-hospital limits if protecting against catastrophic bills is the primary concern.
