Practical combined cover for Cape Town households

If you live or work in Cape Town and are looking for a cheap day-to-day and hospital plan, Affinity Health offers plan options that bring routine healthcare and in-hospital protection together in one budget-friendly package. A combined plan handles everyday needs like GP visits and basic dentistry while also protecting you from large hospital bills after accidents or serious illness. This landing page explains how combined cover works, what to expect in Cape Town, and simple next steps to get a quote or join a plan.

Why choose a combined day-to-day plus hospital plan?

• Predictable monthly cost: Consolidate routine care and hospital protection under a single monthly premium to manage household budgets.
• Continuity of care: Keep regular GP visits and acute medicines covered so small problems don’t become major events.
• Protection for major events: In-hospital costs such as theatre and ward fees are covered so you avoid large unexpected bills.

Affinity Health plan options that suit Cape Town

Affinity Health offers combined plans in its Standard Range and Innovator Range, plus specific options for younger and older members. The Standard Range includes a combined plan suitable for adults aged 18-54, while the Innovator Range offers multiple combination plans for a broader set of budgets and benefit mixes.

What a combined plan typically covers

• Day-to-day elements: GP consultations, basic dentistry and optometry access, and acute medicines within benefit limits.
• Hospital protection: In-hospital admissions, theatre and ward fees, approved in-hospital procedures and scans.
• Support services: Remote consultations with healthcare practitioners and Emergency Medical Response assistance when needed.

Affordability strategies for Cape Town residents

• Choose the combination plan option that aligns with how often you use GP services and the level of hospital limits you want.
• Consider family composition: young children often require stronger day-to-day benefits, while older adults often prioritise higher hospital limits.
• Compare plan options side-by-side to balance routine claim limits with hospital protection and monthly premium.

How to choose the right level for your household

Practical Cape Town scenarios

• Young professional: prioritise day-to-day benefits for routine GP care plus a hospital limit to protect against unexpected surgery.
