The verdict in three sentences
In 2026, a health insurer that wants to inspire trust and offer a secure member area invests between 5,000,000 and 9,000,000 FCFA (roughly 7,600-13,700 EUR). The two structuring modules are the member area (2,500,000 FCFA) and the contribution simulator (1,500,000 FCFA), both subject to strong health-data requirements. Project success rests on a precise spec sheet and clear acceptance milestones over 12 weeks.
Priced spec sheet
A health insurer handles sensitive data: identity, contributions, sometimes health data. The site must combine institutional reassurance with secure transactional features. Here is the typical breakdown of deliverables in FCFA.
| Deliverable | 2026 range (FCFA) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Trust-building institutional base | 1,800,000 - 3,200,000 | 3-4 weeks |
| Secure member area (SSO) | 2,500,000 | 3 weeks |
| Contribution simulator | 1,500,000 | 2 weeks |
| Health-data compliance | 900,000 | 2 weeks |
| Online membership forms | 700,000 | 1-2 weeks |
| FR/EN bilingual build | 600,000 | 1 week |
| Indicative total | 5,000,000 - 9,000,000 | 10-12 weeks |
The member area at 2,500,000 FCFA concentrates most of the value: coverage lookup, reimbursement tracking, certificate downloads, all behind robust SSO authentication.
Acceptance milestones over 12 weeks
On a project handling health data, acceptance is not a formality: it validates security, compliance and the member journey. Here is the milestone grid with associated deliverables.
| Week | Milestone | Deliverable | Validation criterion |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1-W2 | Scoping + specifications | Approved spec | Scope sign-off |
| W3-W5 | Base + trust design | Accepted mockups | Management approval |
| W6-W8 | Member area + SSO | Security acceptance | Penetration tests OK |
| W9-W10 | Contribution simulator | Functional acceptance | Calculations verified |
| W11 | Health-data compliance | Processing register | Policy approved |
| W12 | Final acceptance + training | Go-live | Signed acceptance report |
Mini case study
Mr. Nkolo, director of a health insurer (12,000 members), wants to cut counter calls by digitizing certificates and reimbursement tracking. He selects a base at 2,600,000 FCFA, the member area at 2,500,000 FCFA, the simulator at 1,500,000 FCFA and compliance at 900,000 FCFA, for 7,500,000 FCFA. With a switchboard handling 60 calls/day mostly for certificates, the self-service member area halves those calls: about 30 fewer calls/day, the equivalent of half an agent role, for an estimated saving of 2,400,000 FCFA/year. The site pays for itself in a little over three years on this item alone, excluding brand image and new memberships.

Why does a member area cost 2,500,000 FCFA?
Because it combines secure SSO authentication, coverage lookup, reimbursement tracking and document downloads, all behind a reinforced security layer suited to sensitive data.
Is the contribution simulator essential?
It strongly increases membership conversion by giving prospects an instant figure. At 1,500,000 FCFA it also reduces the sales team's workload.
How is health data protected?
Through encryption, access control, a processing register and a dedicated privacy policy, for about 900,000 FCFA. It is a non-compressible item.
How long to deliver?
Expect 10 to 12 weeks, with mandatory security acceptance (penetration tests) before the member area goes live.
Can the site really cut counter calls?
Yes: on a comparable case, the self-service member area halves certificate-related calls, freeing the equivalent of half an agent role.
