Evaluating Group Cover Options: Features That Matter

Employee Demographics and Business Objectives

Understanding your workforce’s needs is essential. Consider the nature of your industry (such as desk-based versus active workforces), and the level of access needed to healthcare services across Cape Town and its surrounds. Group plans from Affinity Health can be structured to suit a variety of organisational profiles within the Western Cape.

Provider Network Access

Access to the provider network across Cape Town is key for business continuity and effective employee care. Our network includes Doctors, Dentists, Pathologists, Radiologists, and Pharmacies. The network is basic and does not offer specialist filters or listings. Use Affinity Health’s Provider Finder to explore facilities available to plan participants. If a provider is on our network list, members don’t need to confirm with the practice.
