You do not need to enroll in the UMR health insurance since you have already completed the paperwork to continue your health insurance under NYSHIP for the summer.  If you did not want to move forward and enroll in UMR, it will take 6 to 8 weeks for you to receive reimbursement of the money paid for the summer continuation. Because payroll is processed 2 weeks in advance, you will continue to receive the deductions for NYSHIP summer continuation coverage.
