About Affinity Health

Should you require medical insurance from a firm that works efficiently with providing quotes, Affinity Health should be your ideal choice.

Should you want to request a quote, you may do so online by entering your name and contact details to get started. Followed by providing more specific details of yourself so they can ensure your agreement is tailored to your requirements and pocket. They also have an email you could easily contact them on or you could go to a branch.

Affinity Health was originally founded in 2011 and its main goal was to provide those who can’t afford private health care with the means to access it through their medical insurance plan. They have been assisting thousands of people to obtain access to better healthcare by bridging the financial gap.

They offer day-to-day as well as hospital plans and should you wish to, you can combine the two and get the best of both plans. They are all about practicality hence why they have simplified both their application and claims process.

The quotation process

They have added a tool on their website which allows you to provide your contact details once you do that a trained staff member will contact you to find out more about you and the situation you are currently in.

They will want information like your age, health history, marital status, and roughly what your income is. These are all categories that are looked at when assessing profiles to determine risk and could affect your instalment or application status.

Affinity Health Services

Affinity Health offers a wide range of medical insurance plans that you can choose from based on your needs and budget.

These plans are as follows:

Day-to-day

This is a plan that caters to your day-to-day medical expenses such as dental cover or optometry visits, etc. Within this plan, you also get unlimited free visits to your GP making it easier on your pocket.

This plan begins at R649, when adding a spouse or a child to the policy the amount increases according to the stipulated amounts. The increase is subject to the member being added in terms of age and health.

Hospital plan

This plan provides you with numerous benefits when you have been hospitalized due to an accident, illness, or any other medical emergency. The benefit that stands out with this plan is that you gain access to private hospitals.

For this plan policy rates begin at R1028, this amount is subject to change according to the members added based on what age category they fall under.

Combined

When you wish to have both day-to-day and the hospital plan combined this option allows you to enjoy the benefits of both but at a lesser price when you combine them. For an instalment of R1488 per month, you can enjoy the health insurance benefits for a bargain price, whereas your original total would have been R1677.
