Benefit open house scheduled for this afternoon

A “Benefit Open House” event will be held this afternoon on the UNMC Omaha campus to discuss changes in the university health plan.

Today’s open house will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. at the University Tower’s Private Dining Rooms A, B and C.

Representatives in attendance will include UMR (medical insurance), Ameritas (dental insurance), CVS Health (prescriptions), Assurity (life insurance), UNUM (long term disability), and the UNMC Department of Human Resources Benefits Office. Faculty, staff, spouses and dependents can stop by anytime between the times listed.

There also will be an online presentation on Oct. 17, regarding the benefits plan.

On Sept. 25, University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds, Ph.D., announced a number of enhancements beginning in 2019 that will lower costs, expand services and better meet the health care needs of university employees and their families.

Annual NUFlex enrollment is Oct. 29 to Nov. 16. More information on the online session and NUFlex enrollment will be coming soon.

For questions, call the UNMC benefits office at 402-559-4340.
