Lunchtime presentations focused on improved wellness and preventative services benefit offered to employees who have Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance through UNMC or UNMC Physicians are scheduled for Feb. 26 and 29.
The benefit — called the “Healthy U” Wellness Benefit — has been fortified to annually cover $250 in physicals and lab tests without deductibles and co-pays.
It is designed to better allow employees to manage their overall health by consistently monitoring common health indicators.
Employees must see a UNMC Physician to fully maximize the benefit, which covers an annual “Healthy U” physical and lab tests such as complete blood counts, lipid profile, metabolic panel, prostatic specific antigen and pap smears.
The seminar will focus on the benefit and the physical.
The seminar schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday, Feb. 26 — 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the College of Nursing, Rooms 1011/1012; and
