8.2 Medical requirements
The Manco was informed that a Free Cover Limit (FCL) or non-medical limit was a level of
cover (in Rands) as determined by the insurer being the maximum benefit that the insurer
would automatically underwrite without requiring further evidence of good health by the
member. The insurer would therefore automatically cover members for benefits up to the
FCL. Any member who had cover in excess of the FCL would have provide the insurer with
medical underwriting requirements and be accepted by the insurer either at the current or
loaded premium rates in order to be covered for their full potential benefit. The Free
Cover limits were noted as follows:
Benefit Free Cover Limit
Group life R 3,630,000
Disability Income Benefit R 58 000
