Five reasons you should choose Affinity’s hospital plan, every time

Affinity Health has the best hospital plan in South Africa.

A bold statement? Maybe. But there are loads of facts to back it up.

Firstly, let’s focus on the difference between a hospital plan, and full medical insurance.

Medical Insurance (or full cover) provides a specified payout amount for various defined medical conditions and procedures. These procedures are dependent on each insurer’s medical insurance package. It is to be said that peace of mind comes in knowing that these defined medical conditions range from GP visits to dental surgery and pretty much everything in between – and most importantly, emergency evacuation and hospital visits.

Now, for those who don’t need extensive cover, there is the option of a hospital plan. Many people find this very helpful.

A hospital plan is a great option for someone young and healthy, who has just started out their career and needs affordable cover in case of an emergency. It is much less of a financial commitment than a full out medical aid plan.

Statistically, most people start out with a hospital plan, and move on to other medical cover options as their needs change. Usually, they make the move once they are older, or start a family. 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.
