In addition to the Student Health Clinic services, which provides routine out-patient health care, the University of Nebraska Medical Center requires full-time students to have in-patient/hospitalization insurance. The University has contracted with Macori, Inc., which is underwritten by the National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA., a member company of American International Group, Inc. (or AIG), to provide in-patient accident/hospitalization coverage for UNMC students.
By special arrangement with the insurance carrier, the $200 deductible will be waived for treatment received at the UNMC Family Medicine/Student Health Outpatient Clinic located in the Durham Outpatient Care Center and when the student gets a referral to any specialty clinic at the UNMC campus for out-patient or in-patient services.
Students will also receive a 25% discount on all covered medical expenses provided by UNMC physicians on the UNMC campus only. The Plan will pay 90% of covered medical expenses until $4,000 of benefits have been paid and then will pay 100% of remaining covered medical expenses up to $25,000 aggregate maximum per policy year. (See the UNMC student insurance brochure online at Macori's website.)
Students will automatically be billed for student insurance on their tuition/fee statements each semester if they are taking 12 or more hours (9 or more for graduate students) and have not completed a student insurance waiver form (located on the Care website). If students have other insurance and do not want to enroll in the University's endorsed student health plan, they can fill out a waiver form online on the UNMC Care website.
Waivers must be completed within 14 days of the beginning of the student's classes or they will automatically be charged the insurance fee of $530 per semester. Students who waive the insurance plan must provide documentation of an existing, equivalent policy. Please note that other insurance company's deductibles or co-payments cannot be waived, as there is no agreement between UNMC and other insurance companies.
Part-time students may also purchase this student insurance plan by calling 559-7276.
