   UCT Group and Funeral Cover Scheme                                                                                                                2010

    

   The University operates a Group and Funeral Cover Insurance Scheme, which aims to supplement students’ private medical aid or insurance schemes in the event of UCT-related accidental injury. Participation is compulsory and the premium is included in the academic fee.

   The maximum benefits are:

   •	Funeral Expenses: R10 000;
   •	Medical expenses: R8 000 or R25 000 where the student is involved in an official field trip for academic purposes. In both instances the first R100 of any claim is borne by the claimant
   •	Physiotherapy at the UCT Sports Injuries Clinic: R700.

   Cover is effective from 48 hours prior to the start of term and expires 48 hours after the close of term. Cover includes any sporting, cultural or academic activity under the auspices of the University outside this period. For example: The policy covers a student who is required to participate in a sports tour, (provided the student is a member of a specific club), attend a conference or undertake academic work during the vacation in connection with his/her academic course, such as fieldwork or an engineering workshop practice.

   Winter sports, mountaineering with the use of ropes, hang-gliding and motor-cycling are included (but excluding racing) provided the student is a member of the specific UCT club.

   Please note:

   •	This is not a medical aid scheme, but is designed as a contingency measure against unanticipated medical expenses arising out of personal injury resulting from UCT-related accidental injury. Students are expected to have adequate private medical aid or insurance cover, and this cover should NOT be used instead of a medical savings account, nor where an individual has elected to not cover day to day medical costs
   •	The cover is not adequate, on its own, in many cases. Students are expected to seek advice at the UCT Sports Injuries Clinic or the UCT Student Health Service in order to contain costs as much as possible.
   •	Students are liable for all expenses incurred even though the University administers the process whereby students are able to claim for those medical expenses which fall within the rules of the policy. They will face prosecution by medical practitioners e.g. hospitals, doctors if they fail to pay for all expenses incurred.
   •	Enquiries/claims: Medical Administrator, UCT Student Wellness Service, 28 Rhodes Avenue, Mowbray, 7700 Tel.: 650 1020/1022

   Other insurance

   The University provides no cover for personal possessions, including motor vehicles, even when a student may be involved in compulsory academic activity.
