FAQs

Why does my university appear as ineligible on GBG’s webpage?

Unfortunately, some universities don't allow waivers, work with exclusive providers, or ask for specific requirements. We are working to incorporate more universities soon.

If for any reason your university rejects GBG insurance as a waiver, GBG will refund 100% of what you paid.

Why is the GBG plan cheaper than my university plan?

There are a variety of factors that affect the premium of health insurance. Some important ones are co-insurance, copays, deductibles and coverage. 

Something that is unique in university plans is that they usually charge one price to all students regardless of other conditions. GBG does in fact take into account other factors like age when quoting your insurance.

What is the provider network in GBG’s plans?

In most cases it is AETNA, but that is specified in your plan under Schedule of Benefits.
