The 2013 NUFlex enrollment period started Monday and ends at 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7. The annual Wellstream Health Risk Assessment also can be taken during this time period.
NUFlex enrollment is only offered online through the Firefly Employee Self Service.

- Keep their current benefits;

About the HRA
The Health Risk Assessment (HRA), called Wellstream, gives employees a personal health summary and entitles those with the university’s health insurance to enhanced wellness benefits.
Those with university insurance who take the HRA will have access to:
- A $300 Wellness and Preventative Services benefit — a $50 increase over the standard benefit;
- A $600 Well-Child Care Benefit — a $100 increase over the standard benefit;
- A free colonoscopy through a Blue Cross Blue Shield preferred provider every 10 years once they reach the age of 50; and
- No co-pay for generic drugs accessed through mail service.
Data helps form campus initiatives
The HRA is voluntary and can be taken through Firefly. The assessment will take about 15 minutes and needs to be completed in one sitting.
UNMC will use anonymous, aggregate data from the assessments to develop plans and programs to address health care trends found among the faculty and staff.
All active (benefits eligible) employees, retirees, ancillary and COBRA insureds can take the HRA.
