Why combined cover suits Northern Cape households

Combined plans reduce the chance that routine costs force families to delay care while ensuring you are protected from unexpected, high-cost hospital events. For parents with young children, regular GP access is valuable; for retirees, strong hospital limits give peace of mind. Affinity Health’s combined-plan options are designed to be budget-friendly with clear benefit structures and predictable monthly payments.

How to choose the right level of cover for your household

Selecting the right full health cover involves assessing household size, ages, and likely healthcare use over a year. Young families often prioritise day-to-day benefits for frequent child visits; older adults typically prioritise higher in-hospital protection. Below is a straightforward selection process you can follow.

Step-by-step selection checklist

• List expected routine needs: estimate GP visits, dental check-ups and glasses replacement per person.
• Consider planned events: any upcoming surgeries, maternity or higher-risk activities that increase in-hospital likelihood.
• Compare total monthly cost vs potential out-of-pocket events: balance your monthly budget with reasonable excess choices.
• Confirm provider access: ensure your preferred private hospitals and clinicians are in the provider network.
