How Pricing Works for Employers

Premiums are determined by group size and the level of cover selected. For example, day-to-day group cover starts from R435 per member per month for adults, while combination plans with extensive hospital and day-to-day benefits can range upwards depending on selections. For all details, refer to the official Affinity Health rates.

If you operate across provinces, you may also be interested in options in Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal for broader coverage.

Comparing Corporate Health Cover to Other Solutions

Traditional health cover can be unaffordable for many smaller Northern Cape businesses or organisations with variable workforce sizes.
