Wellness Services
Seasonal Vaccinations & Biometric Screening
Kohll's RX is providing the following services at the fair:
- Annual Influenza Vaccine (Flu Shot)
- Covid-19 Vaccine
- Biometric Screening ($55)
Flu Shot Clinic Questions
Are flu shots covered by insurance?
This is dependent on your individualized medical insurance providers. Most insurance covers some portion of your annual flu shots, but it is recommended to check in with your insurance provider before scheduling your appointment. Employees who are covered under UNL BCBS medical insurance and completed the Health Risk Assessment are eligible for enhanced coverage, and this flu shot should be coded as in-network meaning low or $0 copays. If you did not complete the HRA, you may have to pay copays and admin fees. For further information, please contact the University Benefits Team at benefits@unl.edu or call 402-472-2600.
If available, are walk-ins available for participants?
Yes, we can accept walk-ins. They will have to understand, though, that since we will be running their insurance after-the-fact, it could deny and full payment will be due or there may be a copay due that they will be billed for.
What is the cancelation process in case someone is unable to make their reservation?
None whatsoever - they just don't show
If someone does not want to or is unable to use insurance to cover their shot, how is this handled?
Check or exact cash or credit card number. The nurses do not carry cash/change and cannot take a payment at clinic. The vaccination payment can be processed back at the office and a receipt can be emailed.
Biometric Screening Clinic Questions
What is included in the screening?
Blood Pressure, BMI, and the Framingham Risk Assessment which includes cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. The test calculates LDL, TC/HDL ratio, LDL/HDL ratio and non-HDL cholesterol.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost of the test is $55 and insurance does not cover this service.
Do you need an order from a doctor to register for the screening?
No, an rx is not needed and anyone can participate.
If someone makes a reservation and pays for the service and has to cancel, is there a refund option?
Absolutely - 100% of it.
How long is the turnaround process for getting results? And how will it be communicated to the participant?
Results are within minutes and the nurse will speak with each individual.
If someone does not register ahead of time, can they pay in-person for the service? What payment options are available?
Yes, check or exact cash or credit card information. The nurses do not carry cash/change.
Blood Pressure
Stop by the UNL Injury Prevention and Care booth at the fair to check your blood pressure! No registration required!
Posture Assessment
Take a quick, non-invasive look at your posture and alignment. This 5-minute screening provides insight into your posture patterns and identifies areas that may benefit from greater awareness, movement, or corrective strategies. Earn a free ice pack for completing this assessment.
This service is provided by Active Life Family Chiropractic
All time slots are full. Please visit the booth to inquire about walk-in availability.
In-Body Scan Assessment
An InBody scan is a quick, non-invasive body composition analysis that breaks down your total weight into muscle mass, body fat, and water. Instead of just giving you a number on a scale, it tells you exactly what your body is made of and how it is distributed across your arms, legs, and torso.
These scans will take place in the private, personal training assessment space located directly next to the Coliseum.
Appointment slots are scheduled in ten-minute increments. Please arrive a few minutes early for your appointment to check in!
