When you or a family member feels sick, traveling to a clinic and sitting in a waiting room may be the last thing you want to do. Mobile medical care offers another way to receive help by bringing an experienced medical professional directly to your home.

For eligible patients with Sana Benefits, UrgentCare2go® may be able to provide covered mobile urgent care and primary care services without requiring a traditional clinic visit. UrgentCare2go states that it accepts Sana Benefits insurance and provides care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries in the patient’s home.

Does UrgentCare2go Accept Sana Benefits?

UrgentCare2go accepts Sana Benefits insurance, but insurance acceptance does not guarantee that every visit, test, treatment, or service will be covered by every Sana plan.

Benefits can vary based on:

• Your employer’s specific Sana Benefits plan

• Whether UrgentCare2go is considered in-network

• Your remaining deductible

• Copay or coinsurance requirements

• The medical service being requested

• Whether laboratory testing or treatment is medically necessary

• Referral or authorization requirements

• Your location and the availability of mobile care

Before scheduling, review the Sana Benefits insurance information provided by UrgentCare2go. You can also call (817) 508-8169 for assistance with scheduling and general insurance questions.

Patients should contact Sana Benefits using the member-services number printed on their insurance card to confirm current eligibility, network participation, estimated member responsibility, and any plan-specific requirements.

What Is an UrgentCare2go House Call?

A house call allows a qualified medical professional to visit you at your home or another eligible service location. This can be especially helpful when illness, an injury, transportation difficulties, work responsibilities, or family obligations make traveling to a clinic inconvenient.

Instead of waiting in a crowded lobby, patients can remain in familiar surroundings while waiting for the medical team to arrive.

The mobile medical professional can evaluate symptoms, review relevant medical history, check vital signs, conduct an examination, and discuss an appropriate care plan. When clinically appropriate, the provider may recommend testing, treatment, a prescription, follow-up care, or evaluation at another medical facility.

Patients can review how UrgentCare2go works before requesting their visit.

What Conditions May Be Evaluated at Home?

UrgentCare2go focuses on non-life-threatening medical needs. Depending on the patient’s symptoms, age, medical history, and clinical circumstances, a mobile visit may be appropriate for concerns such as:

• Cold and flu-like symptoms

• Cough, congestion, and sore throat

• Fever

• Ear discomfort

• Sinus symptoms

• Seasonal allergy symptoms

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

• Mild dehydration

• Headaches and migraines

• Minor cuts, burns, or skin concerns

• Rashes and suspected allergic reactions

• Urinary symptoms

• Minor sprains and strains

• General primary care concerns

• Follow-up care for certain ongoing conditions

The medical team must assess whether a patient’s needs are suitable for a mobile visit. Some symptoms may require imaging, hospital testing, specialist evaluation, or emergency treatment that cannot be provided during a house call.

UrgentCare2go does not provide immunizations or children’s annual physical examinations.

How Does the Mobile Visit Process Work?

The process generally begins with a visit request or phone call. Patients should provide accurate contact, location, insurance, and symptom information so the team can evaluate the request.

Once a visit is scheduled:

1. The patient receives information about the anticipated arrival window.

2. A mobile medical assistant may contact the patient when the team is on the way.

3. The medical team arrives at the confirmed address with appropriate mobile equipment.

4. The provider reviews the patient’s medical history and current symptoms.

5. Vital signs and a physical examination are completed as appropriate.

6. The provider discusses findings and recommended next steps.

UrgentCare2go commonly provides an estimated three-hour arrival window. This is not a guaranteed appointment time because travel conditions, provider availability, patient needs, and earlier visits may affect the schedule.

Patients should keep their phones nearby and make sure the medical team can safely access the property. Pets should be placed in a separate, secure area before the team arrives.

Where Is UrgentCare2go Available?

UrgentCare2go may serve eligible ZIP codes throughout the DFW area and communities in or around:

• Arlington

• Farmers Branch

• Brownwood

• Houston

• Austin

• El Paso

• San Antonio

Availability may vary by ZIP code, provider schedule, requested service, and time of day. Patients should check local service availability or call (817) 508-8169 before requesting care.

How to Verify Sana Benefits Coverage

Insurance plans can differ even when two people both carry Sana Benefits cards. A service covered for one member may be subject to different deductibles, copays, limitations, or network rules for another member.

Before the visit, ask Sana Benefits:

• Is UrgentCare2go currently in-network for my plan?

• Is mobile urgent care or primary care covered?

• Does my plan cover a medical house call at my location?

• What is my copay, coinsurance, or deductible responsibility?

• Is prior authorization required?

• Do I need a referral from my primary care provider?

• Are rapid tests and laboratory services covered?

• Are medications or treatments administered during the visit covered?

• Will I receive a separate laboratory bill?

• What information should the provider include when submitting the claim?

Write down the representative’s name, the date and time of the call, and any reference number provided. This information may be helpful if you need to ask questions after receiving an Explanation of Benefits.

Coverage and estimated costs should always be verified directly with Sana Benefits. Insurance details can change, and only the health plan can make a final benefit determination.

What Should You Prepare for Your Visit?

Having important information ready can make the house call more efficient. Before the medical team arrives, gather:

• Your Sana Benefits insurance card

• A government-issued photo ID

• Your current medication list

• Known medication or food allergies

• Recent test results or discharge instructions

• Relevant medical records

• Your preferred pharmacy’s name and address

• A list of symptoms and when they began

• A record of your temperature or other home readings

• Contact information for your primary care provider

If the patient is a minor, a parent or authorized legal guardian should be available according to current consent requirements.

Prepare a clean, well-lit area where the provider can perform the evaluation. If possible, choose a space with seating and access to an electrical outlet.

Will Testing or Treatment Cost More?

Some tests, treatments, medications, and laboratory services may be billed separately from the medical evaluation. Whether those charges are covered depends on the patient’s plan and the services performed.

A provider may recommend testing based on symptoms and medical necessity. Before agreeing to non-emergency services, patients can ask:

• Why is this test or treatment being recommended?

• Will the sample be processed during the visit or sent to a laboratory?

• Could the laboratory send a separate bill?

• Is the laboratory in-network with Sana Benefits?

• Are there self-pay costs if insurance does not cover the service?

The provider can explain the clinical reason for a recommendation, but Sana Benefits determines how a submitted claim is processed.

What Happens After the Visit?

After the house call, follow the care instructions provided by the medical professional. These instructions may include taking prescribed medication, drinking additional fluids, monitoring symptoms, arranging follow-up care, or seeking a higher level of evaluation.

If a claim is submitted to Sana Benefits, the patient may later receive an Explanation of Benefits. This document is not necessarily a bill. It explains how the insurance company processed the claim, including the amount billed, the allowed amount, the amount paid by insurance, and any potential member responsibility.

If something appears incorrect, compare the Explanation of Benefits with any provider bill and contact Sana Benefits or UrgentCare2go for clarification.

Know When to Seek Emergency Care

Mobile urgent care is intended for non-life-threatening medical concerns. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately for symptoms such as:

• Severe chest pain

• Serious difficulty breathing

• Signs of a stroke

• Uncontrolled bleeding

• Loss of consciousness

• Severe allergic reactions

• Major trauma

• Suspected poisoning or overdose

• Seizures

• Suicidal thoughts or an immediate mental health crisis

• Any rapidly worsening or life-threatening condition

Do not delay emergency care while waiting for a mobile provider.
