Sana Benefits and Primary Care

Primary care supports your health beyond treating an occasional illness. A primary care professional can learn about your medical history, monitor changes over time, help manage chronic conditions, and coordinate additional services when needed.

Depending on your coverage and medical needs, a primary care appointment may address:

• Routine health checkups

• Annual physicals

• Blood-pressure monitoring

• Diabetes evaluation and management

• Cholesterol concerns

• Thyroid conditions

• Medication review

• Prescription refills when appropriate

• Preventive screenings

• Bloodwork and laboratory testing

• Women’s and men’s health concerns

• Mental-health concerns

• Weight-management discussions

• Referrals for imaging or specialist care

• Follow-up after urgent or emergency treatment

• Other appropriate health concerns

The Z‑2‑H primary-care service includes preventive care, acute-condition evaluation, chronic-condition management, bloodwork, screenings, annual physicals, medication management, routine checkups, and referrals when appropriate.

Why Is Establishing Primary Care Important?

A primary care professional helps create continuity in your healthcare.

Instead of addressing each concern separately, primary care considers how your symptoms, medical history, medications, laboratory results, family history, and lifestyle may affect one another.

An established primary care relationship may help with:

• Tracking changes in blood pressure

• Monitoring blood sugar and cholesterol

• Reviewing medications for safety

• Following abnormal laboratory results

• Identifying recommended screenings

• Managing multiple chronic conditions

• Coordinating specialist referrals

• Reviewing hospital or emergency-room records

• Discussing new symptoms early

• Creating a personalized preventive-care plan

Regular appointments may also help identify health risks before they cause noticeable symptoms.

Can Sana Members Schedule an Annual Physical?

An annual physical may be covered as preventive care, but coverage depends on the Sana plan and the services performed.

A physical may include:

• Review of medical and family history

• Medication and allergy review

• Blood-pressure measurement

• Weight and body-mass-index assessment

• Heart and lung examination

• General physical examination

• Lifestyle and mental-health discussion

• Review of age-appropriate screenings

• Vaccination-history review

• Laboratory recommendations

• Follow-up planning

Preventive coverage does not always mean every service completed during the appointment is covered without cost.

A concern discussed during a preventive visit may be billed separately when it requires additional evaluation or treatment. Laboratory tests, procedures, medications, imaging, and follow-up appointments may also have separate benefits.

Ask Sana which preventive services are covered under your plan before scheduling.

Can Z‑2‑H Help Manage Chronic Conditions?

Primary care may help patients monitor and manage chronic health conditions over time.

Examples may include:

• High blood pressure

• Diabetes

• High cholesterol

• Thyroid disorders

• Asthma

• Arthritis

• Chronic pain

• Gastrointestinal concerns

• Migraine

• Weight-related health risks

• Anxiety or depression

• Other ongoing conditions

Management may involve regular appointments, laboratory monitoring, medication review, lifestyle guidance, referrals, and coordination with specialists.

Treatment plans are individualized. A medication, test, or referral is not guaranteed and depends on the healthcare professional’s clinical judgment.

Are Laboratory Tests Included?

Laboratory services are generally separate from the office appointment.

A healthcare professional may recommend testing based on your symptoms, health history, medications, risk factors, or preventive-care needs.

Testing may include:

• Complete blood count

• Comprehensive metabolic panel

• Cholesterol panel

• Hemoglobin A1c

• Thyroid testing

• Urinalysis

• Iron studies

• Vitamin testing

• Hormone testing

• Sexually transmitted infection testing

• Other medically appropriate studies

Before completing laboratory testing, confirm:

• The requested test is covered.

• The laboratory is in network.

• Prior authorization is not required.

• A designated laboratory must be used.

• Your deductible or coinsurance applies.

• The laboratory will submit a separate claim.

A covered office appointment does not automatically mean every laboratory test is covered.

Are Prescriptions Covered?

A Z‑2‑H healthcare professional may prescribe medication when medically appropriate. A prescription is not guaranteed and depends on the evaluation, diagnosis, medication history, and applicable prescribing requirements.

Prescription coverage is managed through your Sana pharmacy benefits.

Before filling a prescription, confirm:

• The pharmacy is in network.

• The medication is included on your formulary.

• Prior authorization is not required.

• Step therapy is not required.

• A generic option is available when appropriate.

• You understand your expected cost.

Medication costs are separate from the medical appointment.

What If You Need a Specialist?

A primary care professional may recommend specialist care when your condition requires additional evaluation or treatment.

Depending on your Sana plan, you may need:

• A formal referral

• Prior authorization

• An in-network specialist

• Specific medical documentation

• Completed laboratory testing

• Imaging before the consultation

Do not assume that every specialist or facility participates with your Sana network.

Before scheduling outside care, contact Sana and confirm the specialist, imaging center, laboratory, or facility is in network.
