About

nebraska.clinic is an independent, non-commercial directory of Nebraska healthcare clinics. We aggregate NPI-verified provider records from the federal NPPES registry across primary care, specialty care, mental health, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and FQHCs/urgent care. Nebraska's large rural footprint means many residents depend on Critical Access Hospitals — we surface that context alongside urban systems. We are not affiliated with the State of Nebraska, the Nebraska DHHS Division of Public Health, or any health system, and we do not accept paid placement. Information here is for residents — not medical advice.

Nebraska licensing, Medicaid, and health-system context

Who licenses Nebraska clinicians

Physician licensure in Nebraska is administered by the Nebraska DHHS Division of Public Health, through the Board of Medicine and Surgery under the Professional and Occupational Licensure unit. License verification is available via the Nebraska DHHS online credentialing portal at nebraska.gov/LIS/lic_ren.

How Nebraska Medicaid is organized

Nebraska Medicaid is administered by the Nebraska DHHS Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care. Most members are enrolled in Heritage Health, a managed care program delivered through three plans:

  • Healthy Blue Nebraska — formerly WellCare of Nebraska, covering families and adults.
  • Nebraska Total Care — a Centene subsidiary serving members statewide.
  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Nebraska — covering eligible adult and family populations.

Enrollment, eligibility questions, and plan selection are handled through the ACCESSNebraska portal at accessnebraska.ne.gov. The Medicaid member helpline is 1-855-632-7633.

Major Nebraska health systems (factual listing only)

The largest multi-hospital systems serving Nebraska residents include Nebraska Medicine, CHI Health, Bryan Health, and Methodist Health System. This is a factual listing only — nebraska.clinic does not endorse, recommend, or rank health systems.

Rural access and Critical Access Hospitals

Nebraska has one of the largest rural footprints of any state, with dozens of Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) serving sparsely populated counties in the Sandhills, Panhandle, and southeastern regions. These federally designated facilities receive enhanced Medicare reimbursement to remain open in communities that would otherwise lose inpatient services. For residents in these areas, the local CAH is often the only nearby source of primary, emergency, and inpatient care.

Behavioral-health crisis resources

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (free, confidential, 24/7). If life is in immediate danger, call 911.

Information for residents, not medical advice. Confirm eligibility, hours, and accepted insurance with the clinic directly.
