How Sentara Employees Can Use Their Discounts

Taking advantage of employee discounts is simple, but it does require a few steps. Here’s how Sentara Health employees can get started:

1. Log into Sentara Wavenet: Most discounts are available through the Sentara Wavenet portal under the employee benefits or perks section. Employees will need their username and password to log in securely.

2. Browse the Discounts: Once inside, employees can view the list of active discounts. These may be organized by category (healthcare, retail, dining, travel, etc.) for easier navigation.

3. Follow Instructions for Redemption: Each discount may have its own redemption process. Some require printing a coupon or showing a digital code, while others are automatically applied when purchasing through a designated vendor portal.

4. Verify Eligibility When Necessary: Certain discounts may ask for proof of employment. This could be as simple as showing a Sentara employee badge or entering a unique employee ID.

5. Stay Updated: Discounts can change throughout the year as new partnerships are added. Employees are encouraged to check the Wavenet portal regularly so they don’t miss out on new opportunities.
