Sentara Health Plans 4+

Easy to use and wonderful ability to contact through a chat option. Can update all information right in the profile section of the app. I just love the end user ability to use the app to have a virtual visit and find providers of any kind for whatever medical services you seek!

I was willing to overlook the fact that both my mother and father and my brother in law died at the Hampton Sentera CarePlex several years ago when I became stuck with the newly named Sentera Health Insurance through my employer. I urge anyone to run the other way and find a different carrier. I will certainly be urging others who are city employees and their family members to voice their complaints to City Council before the next open enrollment period and demand another option. I have spent over TWO HOURS on the phone today just trying to get a human on the phone who can tell me if a claim for my medication had been submitted and will it be approved. I was just passed around from department to department and put on hold until my phone died. I am not even able to use the stupid app they encourage you to use because it says they cannot validate my account. I’m pretty sure I know my SS number, address and date of birth. I can’t wait until the next open enrollment!
I was finally able to get a person who could answer my question. It turns out my medication will not be covered because it’s a newer medication and Sentara has not added it to their list yet even though it’s been in pharmacies for over a month, and was released by the FDA 2 months ago. Yeah, save yourself the headache and just say no.

I’ve been trying to use the telehealth feature throughout the day today, and was kicked off every single time. I started the consult with the bot questions and after trying to upload the required photo I was kicked back to the home page. I thought I did something wrong having never done it before, so I tried multiple different ways to upload the photo, tried multiple different WiFi connections, and no matter what I did I was kicked out of the consult. You’d think my questionnaire would have saved, but nope. Back to square one every time. Really disappointed with this app...
