Health insurance for a child living in Georgia
Choosing MEDI for a child: paediatric care, clinics, tests and documents for the first appointment in Georgia.
Start with practical access to care
A nearby paediatrician and a workable booking process can matter more than a long list of distant clinics.
Confirm the child’s age eligibility at the start date.
Check the clinic, paediatrician and appointment process; ask about language availability.
Compare specialist referrals and diagnostic services.
Check emergency, hospital and dental benefits separately.
Ask about each service explicitly
| Need | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Paediatric appointments | How do we register and book? |
| Tests and investigations | Is a referral required and which clinic can provide the test? |
| Vaccinations and school certificates | Is this specific service included? A paediatric benefit alone does not establish that. |
| An existing medical condition | What terms and approvals apply to this condition? |
Prepare for enrolment and the first appointment
Use the child’s document details, not the parent’s identity in place of the child. Keep the parent’s contact information available for communication.
Check the name, date of birth and document number on the policy.
Ask which identity and representative documents the clinic needs.
Bring previous reports, prescriptions and a medication list.
Prepare questions and clarify the follow-up plan with the doctor.
Urgent help
For an emergency, call 112 rather than waiting for a routine referral. Notify GPI when possible; the medical line is +995 32 250 5111.
Routine appointments follow the access procedure in your programme. Emergency services and scheduled paediatric care have different purposes.
Common questions
Can tourist insurance replace regular child health insurance?
Tourist cover addresses travel-related insured events. For ongoing paediatric and planned care, compare MEDI benefits against the child’s needs.
Can I enter my passport details instead?
The insured child’s identity must be correct. Ask support which document is required for the child and which information is needed from the parent.
