New insurance and AIDS testing
now offered at UNL health center
By Kari Hulac
Staff Reporter
A redefined student health insu
rance plan and a new acquired
immune deficiency syndrome test
ing procedure will be offered at the
University Health Center, 15th
and U streets, this fall.
The insurance plan for students
costs $199 a year, up from $197. The
$75 deductable has increased from
$50.
The plan is provided by the Mid
West National Life Insurance Co. of
Tennessee. It will pay for 100 per
cent of all covered medical expenses
incurred for treatment received at
the health center.
It pays 80 percent of covered
medical expenses up to the first
$2,600, when treatment is received
from another health care center.
And it covers 100 percent in excess
of $2,500.
Students can enroll in the plan
until Sept. 23. They also can enroll
in the plan within 31 days after
becoming ineligible for coverage
under a parent’s policy. Or they can
enroll within 31 days after losing
insurance coverage through another
group policy because of termination
of employment, or within 31 days of
changed family composition due to
marriage, birth of a child or divorce.
All students who have paid the
$50.88 health center fee are eligible
for subsidized rates at the center
and the insurance policy. Students
enrolled for less than four credit
hours must pay $50.88 by Sept. 23 to
be eligible for subsidized services
and the insurance policy.
Health center Director Dr. Gerald
Fleischli said the health center’s
AIDS testing procedure was recently
redefined according to State Health
Department guidelines.
‘If students
need to be seen,
we don’t want
them to be
intimidated by
the appointment
system.’
—Dr. Gerald Fleischli
Students who are concerned they
have been exposed to the AIDS
virus may be tested at the health
center at no charge. The test includes
pre- and post-test counseling.
Organized records of this test are
kept.
Students who have symptoms of
AIDS or AIDS-related complex can
be tested. Symptoms include severe
weight loss, night sweating, a per
sistent dry cough or any problem
with the immune system.
These patients would be charged
and the results of the test would be
kept in medical records.
The test is also mandatory for a
person who needs proof that they
have not been exposed to the AIDS
virus, such as military personnel.
The Acute Care and Emergency
Service is available during regular
hours when an appointment is not
immediately available.
Fleischli said it is important for
students to be aware of the health
center cervices.
“If students need to be seen, we
don’t want them to be intimidated
by the appointment system,” Fleischli
said. “If they need to be seen, they
have to say it."
The center is open from 8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
After regular hours the health
center is fully staffed for emergency
care only. There is a $10 charge for
after-hours service if a doctor is
seen.
In addition to its general clinic,
other health center services include
an allergy clinic, Community Health
Department, Health Aide program
in the residence halls, fitness pro
grams, weight control, drug coun
seling, gambler-problem education
and stop smoking programs.
