A health insurance plan is available for students enrolled in seven or more class hours. The insurer mails information every August and students may come to the Student Health Services office to get a plan brochure and application form. International students must have health and accident insurance and will be billed for the cost of the UNK insurance plan. Please see Admission of International Students for specific information regarding insurance requirements. The semester health fee covers office calls with Student Health clinicians as well as selected procedures, selected treatments, and health education information.
Some procedures have reasonable fees.
Student Health Services contracts with Kearney Clinic to provide more complex procedures, laboratory, and x-ray services, for their usual fee. Students should bring current health insurance cards with them in the event those services become necessary. The address for Student Health Services is UNK Student Health Services, MSAB 184, Kearney, NE 68849.
