Premiums

Premiums shall be determined for the group and paid wholly by the employer or with contributions from the employees.

Underwriting requirements

Medical examinations are normally not required. But individuals whose benefits exceed an automatic cover limit to be determined for the group will be required to submit evidence of good health. The automatic cover limit will depend on the number of lives to be covered and the salary range.
