    What is a Specialty Pharmacy?

    A specialty pharmacy provides injectable, oral and infused medications. These complex and costly medications usually require special storage and handling and may not be readily available at your local drug store. Sometimes these medications have side effects that require monitoring by a trained pharmacist or nurse. CuraScript focuses on providing these medications, while offering excellent clinical services and support to you and your caregivers. Once you choose CuraScript, you will receive personalized medication management, insurance coordination, educational materials and social support services at no additional cost to you or your doctor.

Employee Assistance Program

This site contains information on coverage available to State employees who are eligible for insurance benefits.*

The State of Nebraska offers comprehensive insurance benefits to permanent *, full-time employees. Part-time employees who work 20 or more hours are also eligible for insurance benefits. Participation in the State's insurance program is voluntary. The State contributes 79% of the health insurance premium, 100% of the basic life insurance coverage, and 100% of the Employee Assistance Program cost (for participating agencies). All other insurance plans are offered to employees at a group rate.

Employees' contributions to the health and dental insurance plans are tax-sheltered under Internal Revenue Code 125. Anyone who participates in the health or dental insurance plans will pay their portion of the premium with before-tax dollars, which are automatically deducted from the employee's paycheck. The State also allows permanent employees to participate in two Flexible Spending Accounts, the Medical Reimbursement Account, and/or the Dependent Care Account.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Employee Wellness and Benefits staff.

* As a State of Nebraska employee, you will have the opportunity to select from insurance benefits listed for your specific employee-group type.
