If my insurance company has pre-certification, prior approval or notification requirements for specific services am I responsible for taking care of this?
The specific requirements and responsibility for completing pre-certification or notification depend on several things, including the contract agreements between Sentara Healthcare and your insurance company and the requirements defined by your insurance or employer group plan. In many cases, Sentara Healthcare can assist with these requirements if we have a contract with your company. However, if you have questions about your responsibility for completing these requirements, you should contact your insurance company directly. You may have to pay a higher deductible or co-insurance amount if these steps are not completed.
