Hospital Plan
Private hospitalisation cover
Our hospital plan provides you with a wide range of benefits in the event of hospitalisation as a result of an accident, illness or medical emergency.
Accidents happen when you least expect them and even the healthiest amongst us can fall victim to disease and illness.
As one of the fastest growing providers of Hospital Plans and Health Cover in South Africa, Affinity Health offers you an affordable Hospital Plan that gives you access to a wide range of features and benefits when you need it most.
The great thing about an Affinity Health Hospital Plan is that you get a much wider choice of hospitals and doctors than if you were a public patient.
A brief overview of some of the
benefits on our Hospital Plan:
When it comes to medical expenses there are two types of costs associated with hospitalisation – hospital stay costs and medical costs.
Hospital Stay
Hospital stay costs are for general daily expenses like your bed, your meals and theatre. These costs accrue with each passing day during your stay in hospital.
Medical
Medical costs are charges from specialists like surgeons, radiologists and anaesthetists.
Having Hospital Cover from Affinity Health means that these costs will be covered.
PLEASE NOTE:
Pre-Authorisation must be obtained in all instances including emergencies prior to admission. Pre-authorisation can be obtained by contacting Affinity Health via telephone on 0861 11 00 33, via WhatsApp on 071 314 5862 or by sending a “please call me” to 071 314 5862. Upfront payments are available to all treating hospitals.
