Voices Against Violence
Intimate partner violence prevention is the focus of three public service announcements produced for YWCA Omaha by Maverick Solutions, a student-led public relations firm housed in the School of Communication.
Important News
UNO Health Services is now offering the Zostavax vaccine to its employees. Zostavax is a vaccine that can help prevent Shingles in adults 50 years of age or older. If you’ve ever had chicken pox you could get Shingles now. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. A limited number of doses of this vaccine are available in Health Services. If you have money left over in your Blue Cross Blue Shield wellness and preventative care account this may be a way to use it up. Click here for more information.

Appointment Services
To reduce waiting time for non-urgent problems, students should call for an appointment. If students are unable to keep their appointment, a phone call should be made and their appointment should be cancelled. The space could be given to another student, as spaces are limited. It is helpful to remember that UNO Student Health Services has only one physician at any given time. This means the scheduled time may be backed up for an emergency.
During the times a physician or nurse practicioner is not available, a nurse will evaluate the student. A nurse will either provide the care or arrangements will be made for the student to see a physician or nurse practitioner at a time determined by the urgency of both the student's condition and the condition of other patients requiring treatment.
Referrals
Just like a family physician, at times it is necessary to refer students to an outside specialist. The health fee does not cover outside specialists. Any cost incurred from the referrals is the student's responsibility.
Medical Excuses
Student Health Services DOES NOT issue routine medical excuses. Verification may be provided that a student was seen in Health Services; however, this is not proof that the student was too ill to participate in classroom activities.
Health Fees
Student Health Services is available to all currently enrolled students regardless of insurance coverage. Costs are included in the comprehensive University Program and Facilities Fee (UPFF). Students may see the Student Health Services providers for free. They can receive any in-stock over-the-counter medication at no cost.
Students will be billed for x-rays, outside reference laboratory tests, prescription medications, required and requested immunizations and vaccines, and any services delivered off of the UNO campus. Many Omaha-area pharmacies give a discount to students with a valid UNO student ID card.
Health Insurance
UNO Health Services will gladly bill your services the following health insurance partners:
- BCBS of Nebraska
- UHC United Health Care
- Aetna
- Midlands Choice
- Coventry
Over-the-Counter Medication
A variety of medications are available free of charge to students. They are for treating common problems such as headaches, cold & flu, or diarrhea.
