How do I enroll in my school's group insurance plan?
If you are enrolled in a school that has a group-sponsored plan, your advisor or administrator will handle your enrollment. You will receive an Identification Card with an insurance certificate number in the mail. If you don't receive this card, be sure to speak with your advisor or administrator.
Some schools require that students use a Group Access Code to purchase and enroll in the school's insurance plan directly via the GGH Benefits website. Your school advisor or administrator will provide this access code if it is needed.

I need proof of coverage in order to sign up for my educational travel plans. What can I do?
If you are in a group plan through your school, you will receive your ID card, which is proof of coverage, through the mail. Talk to your advisor or administrator if you haven't received your ID card.
In addition, if you are a registered user of the GGH Benefits website, you may print out an online ID card at any time for current or upcoming coverage once you have been enrolled. This is available in the 'My Benefits' section of the site.
