Private health cover is often seen as an expensive luxury, but in Pretoria, accessible options are available to help you manage routine healthcare costs without straining your finances. Day-to-day health cover, provided by companies like Affinity Health, empowers families, young professionals, and retirees to pay for expected healthcare needs such as doctor consultations and prescription medicines-those essentials that keep you healthy between major hospital visits.
Day-to-day health cover is a budget-friendly form of medical insurance that reimburses or covers routine, out-of-hospital healthcare expenses. These include:
This form of health cover is particularly attractive for Pretoria residents seeking predictable monthly costs and easy access to prevention, diagnosis, and ongoing care. For a full description of covered services, see Affinity Health Day-to-Day Cover.
Affinity Health offers some of the most affordable day-to-day plans in South Africa. As of 2024, typical monthly premiums are:
| Plan Type | Age Range | Monthly Price (from) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Day-to-Day | 18-54 years | R659 |
| Junior Day-to-Day | 0-17 years | R459 |
| Senior Day-to-Day | 55+ years | R1219 |
Unlike many types of medical cover, these premiums do not change by geographic location, so Pretoria residents enjoy the same affordability as those in other major cities. To check the most current premiums and compare plan options, consult the Affinity Health policy rates page.
Day-to-day cover is ideal for Pretoria families, young adults starting work, or retirees who want predictable healthcare expenses and immediate access to private healthcare practitioners without advanced savings or high up-front out-of-pocket costs.
If you have specific medical needs or want to reduce high annual out-of-pocket expenses, day-to-day cover is designed as a practical alternative to paying for each health service in cash.
Most budget-friendly day-to-day options provided by Affinity Health in Pretoria include a solid foundation of routine benefits:
All day-to-day plan members can use Affinity Health’s extensive nationwide provider network, giving Pretoria residents access to hundreds of private GPs, dentists, and optometrists. Find a healthcare practitioner near you in Pretoria.

|---|---|---|---|
| GP consultations | Yes | No | Yes |
| Basic dentistry | Yes | No | Yes |
| Hospital admission cover | No | Yes | Yes |
| Cost per month | Lowest | Medium-High | Medium |
If you want to add hospital protection for serious illnesses or accidents, consider Affinity Health’s Combined Plan, which includes both day-to-day and hospital benefits.
Choosing a day-to-day plan lets Pretoria residents prioritise routine care and budget with certainty, while still providing the option to extend protection for more serious hospital events if needed.
Affinity Health’s plans allow access to an extensive network of private healthcare providers, ensuring you have reliable GP and dental care available close to home or work in Pretoria. To search participating healthcare professionals in your area, use the Affinity Health provider search tool.
