UNL faculty, staff and their dependents who are 19 years or older are now eligible to receive medical care for acute needs — short-term treatment for urgent medical conditions.
The University Health Center qualifies as a Tier 1 facility under the university’s health care insurance guidelines — meaning members receive the highest level of benefits.
Enrollment in the UNL health insurance plan is not required to receive care, but dependents must be enrolled in the same insurance plan as a faculty or staff member to be eligible for treatment.
Care is available on a same-day basis Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both in-person and telehealth visits are available depending on the concern.
Appointments are required for care and must be made by calling 402.472.5000. Walk-ins are not accepted. Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis and can be scheduled up to 48 hours in advance.
