Sana Benefits Members Can Access VirtualCare2go Across Texas

Confirm Coverage Before Your Online Medical Appointment

Sana Benefits members may be able to use their health-plan benefits for an eligible VirtualCare2go® appointment.

Virtual care allows patients to discuss many stable, non-emergency health concerns with a licensed healthcare professional without first traveling to a clinic. However, Sana plans, networks, and employer benefits can differ, making benefit verification an important first step.

Visit the VirtualCare2go Sana Benefits page for information about using Sana insurance for an appointment.

Does VirtualCare2go Accept Sana Benefits?

VirtualCare2go lists Sana Benefits among its accepted insurance options. Coverage still depends on the member’s exact plan, active eligibility, provider participation, requested service, and benefit rules.

Before scheduling, confirm:

• Your Sana coverage is currently active

• VirtualCare2go can submit claims to your plan

• The scheduled healthcare professional is eligible

• Virtual urgent-care appointments are covered

• Your plan does not require another virtual-care platform

• Authorization or another approval is not required

• Prescriptions and laboratory services have separate benefits

• You understand any deductible, copayment, or coinsurance

Insurance verification does not guarantee that a claim will be paid.

How Does the Sana Provider Network Work?

Sana explains that members may have access to network providers and options for receiving care outside traditional networks, depending on the plan. Members should present their identification card so the provider can confirm benefits.

Because plan structures can vary, ask Sana whether VirtualCare2go should be processed as:

• An in-network provider

• A HealthSmart network provider

• An eligible out-of-network provider

• A provider requiring benefit verification

• A service needing prior authorization

• A service covered through another virtual-care program

Do not assume that another Sana virtual service and VirtualCare2go have identical benefits.

What Can VirtualCare2go Treat?

VirtualCare2go online urgent care may evaluate many stable, non-life-threatening concerns, including:

• Allergies

• Cold symptoms

• Cough and congestion

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

• Ear concerns

• Eczema

• Fever

• Flu-like symptoms

• Headaches

• Insect bites

VirtualCare2go lists these and other common conditions among the concerns that may be evaluated online.

A virtual evaluation does not guarantee a diagnosis, prescription, laboratory order, or particular treatment.

How Should You Verify Sana Benefits?

Use the member-services number or contact information listed on your Sana identification card.

Ask:

• Is VirtualCare2go eligible under my plan?

• How will this provider be processed?

• Is the scheduled healthcare professional eligible?

• Are virtual urgent-care appointments covered?

• Does my deductible apply?

• Will I have a copayment or coinsurance?

• What amount might I owe?

Record the representative’s name, date of the call, and reference number.

Sana also offers member tools for finding care and verifying eligibility and benefits.

Is Sana Care the Same as VirtualCare2go?

No. Sana Care is Sana’s own care-navigation and virtual primary-care resource for eligible adult members. VirtualCare2go is a separate virtual healthcare provider.

Sana describes Sana Care as a member service that can provide virtual primary care, navigation, and referrals.

Ask Sana whether:

• You may use VirtualCare2go for your concern

• Sana Care must be contacted first

• The services have different costs

• A referral or care-navigation step is required

• VirtualCare2go can submit a claim to your plan

What Should You Prepare?

Have the following ready:

• Sana identification card

• Government-issued photo identification

• Medication and supplement list

• Medication and food allergies

• Preferred pharmacy

• Description of your symptoms

• Date your symptoms began

• Recent temperature or blood-pressure readings

• Relevant medical records

• Recent laboratory or imaging results

• Referral or authorization information

• Charged device with reliable internet

Use good lighting for visible concerns such as a rash, redness, swelling, or skin infection.

Are Prescriptions Covered?

A VirtualCare2go healthcare professional may prescribe medication when clinically appropriate and legally permitted. A prescription is not guaranteed.

Pharmacy benefits are separate from the virtual appointment. Confirm:

• Your pharmacy participates with the plan

• The medication is covered

• Prior authorization is not required

• Quantity limits or step therapy do not apply

• A covered alternative is available

• You understand any prescription cost

Sana indicates that pharmacy benefits may be administered separately from medical benefits, so members should use the pharmacy information on their card when verifying coverage.

Are Laboratory Tests Included?

Laboratory services are usually separate from the virtual appointment.

Before completing a test, ask:

• Is the laboratory eligible under my plan?

• Is the test covered?

• Does authorization apply?

• Must I use a particular laboratory?

• Will collection and processing be billed separately?

• Will my deductible or coinsurance apply?

A covered virtual appointment does not automatically make every outside service covered.

When Is In-Person Care Necessary?

A healthcare professional may recommend in-person care when the patient needs:

• A hands-on examination

• Laboratory specimen collection

• Diagnostic imaging

• Evaluation of a possible fracture

• Treatment of a deeper wound

• A medical procedure

• Continuous monitoring

• Emergency treatment

Follow the provider’s instructions if another level of care is recommended.

When Should You Call 911?

Call 911 immediately for severe chest pain, serious breathing difficulty, signs of a stroke, loss of consciousness, seizures, uncontrolled bleeding, a severe allergic reaction, major trauma, overdose, or another potentially life-threatening condition.

Do not wait for a virtual appointment when emergency symptoms are present.
