How do I determine if my insurance plan considers the UGA Health Center to be “in-network” status and that the deductible is waived if treatment is rendered at the UGA Health Center?
Students should directly contact their health insurance company, PPO (Preferred Provider Organization), or HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). If the company does not consider the UGA Health Center to be “in-network” status, the student would be required to pay a higher portion, if not all, of the cost of each visit. Students should ask their insurance company, PPO, or HMO to include the UGA Health Center as “in-network” status. The UGA Health Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the same agency that accredits hospitals around the world. The Health Center staff includes physicians with board certification or board eligibility in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics/gynecology, sports medicine, and psychiatry.
