Student Insurance

GT requires graduate research students to have insurance. As a result they provide insurance automatically through student fees. Although it is not immediately apparent, BioID students count as graduate research students and will have a Student Health Insurance (code SINS) charge applied to their account. Note that this is different from your Health services fee (code HEA).

If you are already covered, you need to go to studentbluega.com to waive the mandatory insurance.

If you aren't already covered or think that the Blue Cross Blue Shield student plan may be more effective for you (it's pretty good for the cost when you factor in the included dental and optical), you'll enroll in the mandatory plan, simple as that.

It's good to have this done early so you can get your information from them early enough to present to the immunization staff. All immunization fees are covered.
