Student Health Insurance Plan

Students in the mandatory group are required to carry health insurance coverage during their program of study at Georgia Institute of Technology. Coverage does not automatically renew from one policy year to the next. You must enroll yourself and your eligible dependents under the mandatory plan. The policy year runs from August 1^st through July 31^st.

Step by Step Mandatory Plan Enrollment/Waive Guide

Enrollment Information:

• If you attempt to enroll and your name cannot be found in the UHCSR system, try again each day. Georgia Tech sends a mandatory file to UHCSR reflecting when the insurance charge has been placed on tuition daily. You will not be able to enroll online until UHCSR receives a file containing your information.

• If enrollment is needed immediately due an urgent health care need, you can contact UHCSR at 1-888-754-8089 or partnercentersupport@uhcsr.com to manually enroll.

• Once enrollment is finalized, an email is sent from notifications@uhcsr.com with instructions on how to access the electronic medical ID card through the UHCSR secure portal, My Account. If you do not receive the email, you can access their My Account here. My Account gives you access to the medical ID card, claims information, customized provider search, cost estimator tools, access to ancillary benefits and more. UHCSR has built a video library to help guide you through the different aspects of their health insurance; you can access it at uhcsr.com/video.

• Shortly after enrollment is complete, you will receive a dental card in the mail from UHC Dental. The medical ID card, available in your My Account, will also serve as the vision card. The student will also have access to many other services, such as telehealth benefits and Global Emergency Services.

• You can find more information about benefits, review the plan materials and rates, search for providers, view prescription drug lists and make your purchase in your My Account or at uhcsr.com/gatech.

• You can enroll your eligible dependents after you have successfully enrolled in your My Account. If your enrollment has not yet been finalized, coverage for eligible dependents may be requested here and selecting Notify Me. Once student coverage has been applied you will receive an email notification with additional information on how to enroll and purchase coverage for yout eligible dependents. All dependent premiums are paid directly to UnitedHealthcare StudentResources. Eligible dependents include:

  • Domestic partner
  • Spouse
  • Eligible children up to 26 years of age (including stepchildren, foster children, and legally adopted children, providing the student is fully enrolled and eligible for coverage).

Waiver Information:

• Mandatory students who have an existing health insurance coverage that meets/exceeds insurance requirements can receive a waiver. Click here for more information.
• You must request a waiver during the open enrollment period and the waiver process can take up to 10 days. You must waive in both fall and spring semesters.
• The mandatory student health insurance charge is automatically added to your Georgia Tech student account. Once waived, UHCSR will send a notification to Georgia Tech's Bursar’s Office to remove the charge from your account. If the submitted waiver is approved and the insurance fee has already been paid, the Bursar’s Office will refund the fee.
