Comparing Group Medical Cover with Individual Plans

Unlike individual health cover, Affinity Health’s group cover is designed for collective memberships-meaning all members receive essential benefits under the same terms. This approach often produces meaningful savings and administrative simplicity for employers and HR teams, compared to employees seeking cover alone.

Benefit highlights for North West organisations

• Significant discounts for group enrolment compared to individual rates
• Reduced paperwork and central administration streamline onboarding
• Assured benefits for all members-no selection required by individual employees

Employee experience and private healthcare access

With a group plan, employees in remote areas or major towns of North West can access private healthcare’s hospital provider network for hospital admissions, and book routine care using the wide selection of recognised healthcare practitioners listed on the Find a Provider tool. This access is invaluable for supporting workplace attendance and outcomes.
