In Gauteng, access to reliable out-of-hospital cover is crucial for staying well, detecting health concerns early, and managing routine family healthcare costs. From scheduled doctor visits and acute prescriptions to dental and optometry services, comprehensive out-of-hospital benefits help bridge the gap between major events and daily wellness. Choosing the right plan supports families, retirees, young professionals, and individuals living in urban and suburban areas across Gauteng.
Day-to-day health cover typically focuses on medical expenses that occur outside the hospital, such as GP visits, prescribed medication, pathology, and radiology. Unlike hospital plans, this type of cover ensures ongoing support with health management, especially when you need quick access to trusted healthcare professionals.
Affinity Health offers plan options tailored to specific age groups and needs. For example, the Standard Day-to-Day Plan is ideal for adults aged 18-54, providing routine healthcare support in Gauteng at affordable monthly rates. Older residents may prefer plans designed for the needs of those over 55, while families can cover children under the Junior range.

| Medication | Cover for prescribed acute medicines, both branded and generic, according to formulary |
| Dentistry | Basic dental treatments, cleaning, and x-rays for children and adults |
| Optometry | Annual eye tests and affordable prescription lenses |

When evaluating plans, Gauteng residents should consider family size, current medical needs, lifestyle risks, and monthly budget.
