Resources to help you manage your health

Navigating a chronic condition can be challenging, but you're not alone. We’re here to help you access the care, coverage and resources you need to prioritize your well-being and recovery. 

Preparing for your condition

Review our medical plans and prescription coverage to understand your eligibility and what's covered.  

If you take maintenance medications, you can fill a 90-day supply for the cost of a 60-day supply at Nebraska Medicine pharmacy locations. For added convenience, our pharmacy also offers free shipping to you and your family members.

We offer several options to help manage specific chronic conditions. For diabetes support, connect with Virta Health, a proven nutrition program with expert guidance. For musculoskeletal care, explore SWORD Health, which provides virtual physical therapy to help you manage pain and improve mobility. View additional programs available to support your health.

Taking time to process, rest, heal and seek proper treatment can make all the difference. If you need time off, explore your options. Your health is our priority.

Your health is our priority

Learning you have a long-term illness can stir up many emotions. Learn about common emotions you may experience after diagnosis and while living with a chronic illness, and access support through our Employee Assistance Program.

Receive confidential counseling and guidance through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or Peers in Need of Support. For financial help during challenging times, explore the Colleague Hardship Healing Program.
