Georgia Access Plans

Georgia sells ACA plans through its own exchange, Georgia Access. Every plan includes preventive care, maternity and mental health services. Moreover, incomes from the poverty line to about $39,900 for one person can get extra copay savings.

  • Fall enrollment currently starts November 1
  • Graduating off a parent plan at 26 opens a 60-day window
  • Bronze plans now qualify for health savings accounts

Read about tiers on our ACA plans page and in our bronze, silver and gold guide.

Short-Term Coverage

In Georgia, short-term terms run 1 month to just under 12 months; ask an agent for options. On the other hand, UnitedHealthcare short-term plans do not cover pre-existing conditions. Our short-term insurance page explains the limits.

Tri-Term Coverage

TriTerm Medical offers nearly 3 years of coverage over three terms with one application; premiums may change. As a result, a healthy graduate student can stay covered through a full degree. See our tri-term plans overview.

Add-On Plans

PeachCare and Pathways

PeachCare for Kids covers children through 18 up to about 247 percent of poverty. Pathways, meanwhile, covers some adults up to the poverty line who meet an 80-hour monthly rule. College credit hours can count toward that rule.

What Bulloch County Plans Cost

Bulloch County shares Georgia rating area 14 with Savannah's Chatham County. Still, age, tobacco use and metal tier drive most of the price. Georgia Access rates rose about 21 percent on average for the coming plan year.

Statesboro Hospitals and Doctor Networks

Health insurance Statesboro patients pick must include the hospital in town. Beyond that, many families drive to Savannah for specialists. So a good plan covers both places.

Bulloch County sits in rating area 14 with coastal counties. However, networks still differ by carrier, so an agent at 888-730-6001 should confirm yours.

East Georgia Regional Medical Center

This 150-bed hospital is Statesboro's main hospital. In addition, it is the closest full hospital for most Bulloch County families. Because it serves much of the surrounding region, nearly every local plan should include it.

Willingway Hospital

Willingway, also in Statesboro, focuses on addiction treatment. So check behavioral health coverage if a loved one needs care.

Savannah Specialists

Larger Savannah hospitals sit about an hour southeast. Therefore, confirm specialist networks before a serious diagnosis. Also, ask whether travel to those specialists needs a referral.

Check Your Providers

Search each doctor with our provider network tool. Afterward, review our out-of-pocket costs guide. Then call 888-730-6001 so we can match health insurance Statesboro plans to your doctors.

Health Insurance Statesboro Workers Need

Georgia Southern anchors the local economy, followed by factories, farms and retail. Still, many workers buy health insurance Statesboro employers do not supply. Adjunct teachers, farmhands and restaurant staff often shop alone.

Each situation has a matching option. Talk through yours at 888-730-6001.

Georgia Southern Staff and Adjuncts

Part-time instructors often lack university benefits. As a result, many buy their own plan each fall. Our part-time worker coverage guide covers the choices.

Plant and Manufacturing Workers

Briggs & Stratton and GAF run sizable local plants. Even with good jobs, new hires may wait for benefits to begin. If a job changes, our losing coverage guide explains your 60-day window.

Farmers and Agricultural Workers

Bulloch County agriculture brings in about $100 million in yearly farm revenue. Our self-employed coverage guide explains how farm owners buy plans.

Ogeechee Tech Students

Technical students often work part time while training. Meanwhile, clinical or shop hours leave little time to shop for coverage. Fortunately, low incomes can bring large credits on Georgia Access.

Coverage That Fits Your Season

From harvest to finals week, we can find health insurance Statesboro workers can afford. Call 888-730-6001 or ask for quotes online.

Health Insurance Statesboro FAQs

These health insurance Statesboro answers address common local questions. Statewide rules sit in our Georgia coverage questions library. Or call 888-730-6001 on weekdays.

My parents live out of state. Can I stay on their plan?

Usually, yes, until 26. However, their network may not include Statesboro doctors. In that case, you may face out-of-network bills for routine care.

Does a Georgia Southern student plan count as coverage?

Yes, a school plan can count. Still, compare its cost with a Georgia Access plan using your credits.

I earn very little as a graduate assistant. Do I qualify for help?

Above the poverty line, credits can be large. Below it, Pathways may help, and class hours may count.

How do farmers estimate income for credits?

Generally, use expected net farm profit for the year. Then update Georgia Access if income changes a lot. Otherwise, you may repay extra credits at tax time.

Are Statesboro and Savannah prices the same?

Bulloch and Chatham share rating area 14, so base rates match. However, plan choices can differ by county.

Can my child get PeachCare while I buy my own plan?

Yes, if family income fits the limits. Children under 6 pay no premium.

Does Willingway treatment fall under ACA plans?

ACA plans must cover substance use treatment. Even so, the facility must be in network for the best price. Some plans also require approval before an inpatient stay, so ask first.
