ER Visits at the UNMC Campus

• If you become ill or injured after-hours and require urgent care for a severe medical emergency, you may use the UNMC Emergency Room.

United Healthcare Student Resource (UHCSR)

• Students who have paid into Fund B and have UHCSR coverage are required to:
  • Contact Student Health Administration via email or by calling 402-559-5158 or 402-559-5691, within 48 hours of release for a referral if seen in UNMC Emergency or an Immediate Care Clinic after Student Health Clinic hours, on weekends or holidays.

Other Major Medical Insurance

• Students who have any other insurance need to contact your insurance carrier to see if a referral is required.
• Any services not covered by Student Health Fund B must be filed with the student's/dependent's major medical insurance plan:
  • If you are insured through UNMC's endorsed student insurance plan (BCBS Student Blue Insurance), and have questions regarding a claim, please contact the Student Development Center at 402-559-7276.
  • If you are not insured through BCBS Student Blue Insurance, the appropriate insurance company should be contacted to file a claim. 

Please note the following:

• Approved referrals do not constitute or ensure automatic payment by the insurance company. The insurance company will pay for covered expenses only. If you are on the UHCSR insurance plan, find out what is covered by visiting https://www.uhcsr.com/.
• If you are not on the UHCSR Insurance Plan, please contact your insurance company to inquire about coverage. If the student does not have a referral from Student Health, the entire cost of the visit and services rendered may be the student's personal responsibility
