Medical Insurance Requirements in Georgia: what actually matters to know

Short answer
Travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 GEL is mandatory for entry into Georgia and should be available in English or Georgian. Failure to present valid insurance at the border can result in a 300 GEL fine, and entering Georgia after visiting Abkhazia is a violation of law that will likely lead to entry denial.

From real experience

Entering Georgia after visiting Abkhazia is a violation of Georgian law.
If authorities detect Abkhazian stamps in the passport, entry is likely to be denied. Social media monitoring is inconsistent, but discretion is advised. Travelers are increasingly asked for medical insurance at passport control, so carrying it is highly recommended.
