TL;DR
Georgia doesn't require mandatory travel medical insurance at entry, but having coverage is recommended in case you need treatment; foreign bank insurance (e.g. Ozon Bank) usually works if Georgia is explicitly listed as covered territory — confirm with the insurer before your trip.
Insurance from foreign banks (including Ozon Bank) usually works in Georgia, but check your policy beforehand to confirm Georgia is explicitly listed as covered — travelers recommend calling the insurer's support line to verify.
Medical insurance isn't formally required to enter Georgia, but it's recommended — travelers also commonly ask about car insurance, whether to exchange currency at the border or in the city, and booking accommodation in advance during peak season.
