Affordability and Real-World South African Scenarios

For South African companies and employees, budget-friendly solutions are paramount. Affinity Health’s group plans are only available to groups, not to individual retail customers, making them ideal for businesses wanting to support workers and their loved ones.

• Companies can select from eight combined (day-to-day plus hospital) plan options to suit varying workforce demographics
• Premiums depend on plan structure and family size, with pricing designed for affordability
• A family of four on a standard range combined plan might pay from R1,897 to R3,482 per month (as of 2024), illustrating value for money versus piecemeal cover

Examples of How Company Plans Help South African Families

• Young Gauteng professionals joining a company plan for their family, accessing both day-to-day care and emergency hospital benefits
• KZN manufacturing firms offering group health plans, ensuring employees’ kids have access to dental and GP services
• Western Cape family businesses, using combined plan options for wide-ranging employee ages and life stages

Ensuring Nationwide Access

Affinity Health enables families to get care at thousands of healthcare providers and an extensive network of hospitals. This helps parents and children access private healthcare without delays, no matter where they live or work.

How to Decide Between Plan Ranges

• Large groups: Opt for group cover with comprehensive options across different employee needs
• Individuals or smaller families: Consider a Standard Range combined plan, or age-specific Junior/Senior plans if eligible
