It is important to note here that the co-insurance clause, as far as the ordinary payroll is concerned, is only 80% even though the co-insurance is 100% for the rest of the policy. However,(...) it certainly is wiser to cover this section at 100% as it already is a restricted cover. 1, record 2, English, - restricted%20cover
