Don’t wait until the last day to enroll for NUFlex, take the HRA

Employees are urged to enroll for NUFlex and take the Wellstream Health Risk Assessment now to give themselves time to have questions and concerns addressed by UNMC benefits specialists.

“If you wait until the last day, it may be difficult to get your questions asked as our benefits specialists could be inundated with similar calls,” said Jayme Nekuda, Ph.D., division director of benefits and work-life programs.

Employees have until Friday, Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. to enroll for NU Flex and to take the HRA.

NUFlex enrollment is only offered online through the Firefly Employee Self Service.

If no changes are made online by 5 p.m. on Dec. 2, employees will:

  • Keep their current benefits;
  • Not be enrolled in the Reimbursement Accounts in 2012; and
  • Be designated as a tobacco/nicotine user for life insurance premiums.

The HRA gives employees a personal health summary and entitles those with the university’s health insurance to enhanced wellness benefits. UNMC will use anonymous, aggregate HRA data to develop plans and programs to address health care trends found among the faculty and staff.
