Student Health Insurance

In addition to the Student Health Clinic Services which provide for outpatient services through payment of Fund B, the University has contracted with Macori, Inc. (underwritten by National Union Fire Insurance Company) to provide accident/illness insurance coverage.  The plan also provides for outpatient surgery.

Participation and Cost

• Full-time students

Students who are enrolled full-time are required to have inpatient (hospitalization) health insurance.  Students may participate in the University-sponsored plan, or they may arrange for their own plan through a spouse, employer, parent or self.  The cost per semester is $396, which is billed each semester on the student's tuition statement.

• Part-time students
  
  Students who are enrolled part-time may also enroll in the health insurance program by contacting the student insurance representative at 559-7276, during the first two weeks of each semester.
  
  In order to participate in the student insurance program, part-time students must also pay Fund B ($99.75 per semester) which entitles the student to use the outpatient health facilities located on the Third Level of the Outpatient Clinic. It is the responsibility of the part-time student to make arrangements each semester with the Cashier's office to be billed for the student health insurance and Fund B.
   

• Optional catastrophic coverage
  
  Students may purchase optional catastrophic coverage through Macori, Inc., by picking up an enrollment form in the Student Life Center, room 3015.  The Catastrophic option allows the student an extra $480,000 in coverage at the additional cost of  $110.00 per semester.  Renewal of the catastrophic option each semester is the responsibility of the student.  The optional catastrophic coverage ($110.00) will not appear on the student's tuition statement.

• Dependents

The University of Nebraska Medical Center does not provide inpatient (hospitalization) insurance to dependents.  If the student is interested in purchasing a major medical insurance plan for their dependents, they may purchase a policy privately from Macori, Inc. (1-800-285-8133) or any other private insurer. 

The University does offer student health clinic privileges (Fund B) to dependents.  Students may purchase these clinic privileges (Fund B) for their dependents through Student Financial Services (2nd floor Student Life Center).  Please note: Fund B is not an insurance plan.

Waivers

Full-time students who wish to waive out of the University's endorsed student health program may do so by providing proof of coverage through their spouse's, employer's, parent's, or personal plan by the first day of the beginning of their semester.  Waiver forms may be obtained in the Student Life Center, room 3015 or by e-mailing Patti George at pgeorge@unmc.edu .
