Make sure your providers are in-network before open enrollment
Open enrollment is approaching and now is a good time to see if your health plan will continue to meet your coverage needs. Find out about any benefit changes, search for in-network doctors and check that the doctors you know and trust are accepted by your insurance. Take a minute to confirm your Sentara providers remain in-network.
What’s the difference between in-network and out-of-network?
If a provider accepts your insurance, that means they are in-network with your health plan. Out-of-network refers to a doctor, facility, or hospital that does not have a contract with your health insurance.
Your relationships with your care providers matter
The relationships you have built with your providers can positively affect your overall health and well-being. Your current doctors already know your medical history and have been beside you through your journey. This familiarity can make a big difference in the quality of care you receive, including in the care and support you get managing long-term health conditions. Whether it’s your primary care provider, a specialist or rehab therapist, or the hospital or medical center you’re familiar with – they’ve earned your trust.
