Maternity scans are a critical part of prenatal care for expecting parents. These scans ensure that both mother and baby remain healthy throughout pregnancy. In Kimberley and across South Africa, access to high-quality maternity scans can make a significant difference in pregnancy outcomes. Families often ask how to access these services privately, what is included in health coverage, and who qualifies for these essential benefits.
Many private healthcare providers in Kimberley offer these scans, but the out-of-pocket cost can be a concern for individuals and families without health insurance. Access to affordable hospital plans helps reduce this burden.
Health insurance solutions from trusted brands like Affinity Health aim to make essential maternity services more accessible. The right plan option can include cover for in-hospital maternity, selected antenatal tests, and additional healthcare provider services when medically necessary.
It's important for prospective members to review plan benefit documents carefully - cover for maternity scans is generally in-hospital only and not intended for routine out-of-hospital antenatal scans unless linked to a hospital admission or medical event.
Affinity Health’s provider network gives expecting mothers in Kimberley access to private hospitals and healthcare professionals. Using the Find a Provider tool makes it easier to identify facilities offering the required maternity services near you.
Affinity Health offers a range of plan options - Junior, Standard, Senior, and Innovator - that may cover maternity scans during a hospital admission, depending on age and benefit limits.
| Plan Range | Admission Age | Maternity Scan Cover (in-hospital) |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | 0-17 years* | Not applicable |
| Standard | 18-54 years | Yes (with hospital admission, selected scans included) |
| Senior | 55+ years | Rarely used for maternity; check plan detail |
| Innovator | 18-54 years | Yes (depending on plan) |
*Junior plans are generally for children; maternity benefits apply to adults covered under Standard or Innovator options. More detail is available on the policy and rates page.
Most families in Kimberley want to plan for the expected (like scan appointments) and the unexpected (potential emergency admissions). Understanding what is included in your health cover will help you avoid costly surprises and support a healthier pregnancy journey.
A hospital plan may not cover every routine scan outside of admissions, but provides important protection for the more costly in-hospital phase, particularly in cases of high-risk pregnancies or complications.
Carefully compare your options between dedicated hospital cover, combined day-to-day and hospital plans, or Innovator plans to align with your family's needs. More about these can be found on the combined cover page.
