Affinity health

Please don't get this, get a real medical aid.

I have been with affinity for 5 years, and they only wanted to pay 5% of an operation. As they saw it as a one-day operation and no hospital stay needed, they wanted me to leave the hospital with tubes hanging out of my tummy.

They also always get the practitioner number wrong when you want to go somewhere and need an authorization number. Then because it's wrong, they don't pay for that bull.

They basically don't pay for blood test or test done by the doctors.

I got my claim back 45 days late and their policy states payback in 30 days.

When submitted for the operation and claim, they constatley got things in correct and said they never received anything and I have email proof everything was sent. They said I would get phoned or email to get my claim or feedback for the operation, but I had to follow up every second week.

Please don't do this to yourself, pay a proper medical aid, get the tax benefit, because yes you pay less for cover but in the end, you will pay more for tests, consultations, medicine, operations, because they don't really cover you that well.
