Get your flu & COVID vaccines
As part of our commitment to supporting your health and well-being, UHRM is hosting a drive-thru flu and COVID vaccine clinic in Centerville. By staying up-to-date on these essential vaccines, we can help reduce unplanned hospitalizations, which ultimately benefits both the health plan and each of you by avoiding out-of-pocket expenses, missed work time, and precious time away from family.
Date: Monday, November 4th
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Young Powersports parking lot, 547 S Frontage Rd., Centerville
Nurses from Community Nursing Services (CNS) will be administering vaccinations. CNS can bill insurance for those not enrolled in the University’s Employee Health Care Plan, making it easy and accessible to everyone. Bring your state ID (generally your Driver’s License) and health plan ID card.
Let’s take this preventive step together to protect ourselves and our community. PLUS, employees receive WellU credit for each of the vaccinations.
If you can’t make it to the drive-thru clinic, you can get your vaccines at most pharmacies or at your provider’s office. The health plan covers the total cost of the vaccines.
Special enrollment for life insurance with long term care
October 14 through November 15, University academic campus and U Health academics employees in benefit-eligible positions have an opportunity to enroll in Life Insurance with Long Term Care without providing any medical information.
Log into UBenefits Plus for detailed information and to see your premium. Coverage is provided through Chubb and is portable, meaning you can continue paying the same premium when you leave the University. Coverage is also available for your spouse or domestic partner and children.
A webinar explaining this coverage will be offered on Tuesday, November 5th at 12:00 pm. Click here to join meeting. This webinar will be recorded and posted on HR’s UBenefits Plus web page.
