Post doctoral research fellows, post doctoral research fellow adjuncts, & visiting scholars
The enrollment/waiver period for spring/summer 2010 is
November 16, 2009 - February 5, 2010.
For coverage January 1 - July 31, 2010. |
If you are a post doctoral research fellow, post doctoral research fellow adjunct, or a visiting scholar, you may enroll in the student health insurance plan. (You will be enrolling in the mandatory graduate health plan.) You must pay Pearce and Pearce directly when you enroll on their Web site. At the end of the enrollment/waiver period, your status with the University will be confirmed to ensure you are eligible for this plan.
UGA has purchased an insurance "rider" in order to lower the out-of-pocket maximum to $2,500 (from $10,000). This action was taken after student groups expressed deep concern over the increase instituted in August 2009. This rider will add a total of $86 to your premium for the spring/summer semester period.
- If you were covered by student health insurance during fall semester 2009 AND will be covered during the spring/summer 2010 period, the lower out-of-pocket maximum will apply to your eligible expenses dating back to August 1, 2009.
- If you were covered ONLY during fall semester 2009 (not the upcoming spring/summer semester period), the lower out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to you.
- If you will be covered ONLY during spring/summer semester 2010, the lower out-of-pocket maximum will apply to you from January 1 through July 31, 2010.
If you choose to enroll, please use the instructions below. You must enroll within 31 days of your appointment date. If you do not enroll within that time period, you must wait until the next enrollment/waiver period.
