We can receive treatments for most diseases and injuries here. To see specialists outside the facility, you can get a recommendation through the Health Center. If you come to UGA as a visitor or if you do not pay the Activity Fee, then you will be charged for their services. It is important to hold health insurance. Without having appropriate health insurance, we cannot even register for classes.
Some Japanese students obtain insurance from Japan, and some purchase it here.
There is a plan offered through UGA for students and their families, and many students purchase this plan. The advantages of using this plan include that the proof of purchase automatically goes through the registration system, and you do not need to do anything to prove that you have an appropriate health insurance. Another advantage is that in using the Health Center, you only need to present the proof of insurance. They will pay your bill, contact the insurance firm, and if necessary, the insurance firm will send you a bill. On the other hand, having another plan means you will pay the charged amount of the service upon checking out and then mail the necessary paper to receive reimbursement.
