These include qualifying applicants who hold a CLU or FLMI designation and certain applicants previously licensed for the same line in another home state who meet Georgia&#8217;s transfer requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What the Georgia Health Pre-Licensing Course Covers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Georgia-approved Accident and Sickness pre-licensing course covers Health insurance concepts and Georgia-specific material required for the licensing examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Health insurance fundamentals<\/li><li>Individual and group health insurance<\/li><li>Policy provisions and benefits<\/li><li>Disability income insurance<\/li><li>Accident and medical expense coverage<\/li><li>Medicare supplement and long-term care concepts<\/li><li>Georgia insurance laws and regulations<\/li><li>Agent responsibilities and consumer protections<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-school\/insurance-school-georgia.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Georgia Health Pre-Licensing Course<\/a> also includes exam-style practice questions and timed practice exams to reinforce the material and help you determine when you are ready for the state licensing exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Georgia Health Insurance Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia applicants pursuing Health authority take the Accident and Sickness examination administered by Pearson VUE.
