Ensign Employees Access Convenient Virtual Urgent Care
Centivo Partnership Benefits with Virtualcare2go™ From Home
When you are feeling unwell, leaving home and sitting in a waiting room may be the last thing you want to do. Virtualcare2go makes it easier to connect with a medical professional through a convenient online appointment.
Ensign employees enrolled in the Centivo Partnership Plan may be eligible to receive participating virtual primary and urgent care services. Coverage depends on active eligibility, medical necessity, provider participation, referral requirements, and the service being requested.
Before scheduling, review the Ensign Insurance Page and contact Centivo to confirm your current benefits.
What Does the Ensign Medical Plan Include?
Ensign employees may be enrolled in the Centivo Partnership Plan.
According to the available plan information, members have:
-
$0 copay for participating primary care visits

The amount owed for a virtual appointment may depend on how the service is classified and processed. Laboratory testing, medications, medical supplies, procedures, and services outside the participating network may have separate costs.

How Do I Verify My Virtual-Care Benefits?
Verifying your benefits before scheduling can help you understand your expected financial responsibility.
When contacting Centivo, consider asking:
-
Does Virtualcare2go participate with my Ensign plan?
-
Is an online medical appointment covered?
-
Is DK Physicians PLLC recognized as participating?
-
What copay, deductible, or coinsurance applies?
-
Does the requested service require prior authorization?
-
Is a primary care referral required?
-
Are laboratory tests or prescriptions billed separately?
-
Are there geographic or network restrictions?
-
Will I have a time-of-service responsibility?
Ask for the representative’s name, the date of the conversation, and a reference number. Keep this information with your records in case you have questions after Centivo processes the claim.
Benefit verification is helpful, but it does not guarantee payment. Final coverage is determined after the plan reviews the submitted claim.
Does the Ensign Plan Require Specialist Referrals?
