The Nebraska Medical Center offers semi-private rooms. Selection of your room depends on your medical condition and your personal request. Personal requests for private rooms are honored on an availability basis. Private rooms are higher in cost than semi-private rooms. As most insurance policies do not pay for private rooms, you are responsible for the difference in cost. Check with your insurance carrier if unsure.
