Healthcare when you work for yourself in Bentonville

Begin with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership built around practical ways to arrange care, choose providers, and make sense of costs. Start with the need in front of you: a new concern, a prescription, ongoing primary care, counseling, an in-person appointment, or a planned larger service. Your options depend on the care needed and the membership features selected and active.

That approach leaves room to choose the provider that suits the service and your circumstances. Before making an appointment, check that the provider offers the service you need, ask about availability, and request an estimate. For local Bentonville care, Freeman Health System lists Bentonville Medical Center in its network following its June 2026 acquisition of Northwest Health. Confirm the facility’s current name, services, and charges directly.

Use everyday-care options that fit

Zero Copay Telemedicine is an optional feature that provides telemedicine access when selected and active, subject to program rules. It can be a convenient route for appropriate concerns that can be addressed remotely. Check whether your need is suited to a virtual visit and whether the feature is active before using the service.

Rx and Prescription Benefits is another optional feature. When selected and active, its program details explain how prescription needs are handled. The applicable terms and costs depend on the active benefit and medication, so confirm prescription details with the prescribing clinician and relevant service or pharmacy.

Mental Health and Counseling can provide access to counseling when selected and active. Psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, neuropsychological testing, residential substance-use treatment, and medication costs are not included merely because counseling is active; another active benefit or program must expressly include them.

Virtual Primary Care is a direct-service option with a dedicated physician relationship, ongoing virtual follow-up, an annual virtual wellness visit, and chronic-care follow-up and medication-management support when clinically appropriate for virtual care. The current service tier requires Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling to remain active. In-person follow-up, labs, imaging, and specialist care may involve separate expenses.

Choose local care and check the estimate

For an in-person primary-care appointment in Bentonville, Northwest Physicians lists Northwest Medical Plaza–Bentonville at 601 SW Regional Airport Blvd., with weekday hours listed as 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Confirm the current location name, hours, appointments, services, and charges with the provider before traveling.

For hospital services, Freeman Health System lists Bentonville Medical Center in its network after acquiring Northwest Health in June 2026. The predecessor listing gave the address as 3000 Medical Center Parkway in Bentonville. Verify the current location details and whether the specific service you need is available there.

Ask providers what an estimate includes: facility charges, professional services, and any other separate charges. Posted hospital standard charges can help you compare services, but they may not be an individualized estimate or the final amount due. You choose the provider; confirm participation in any relevant program and expected charges directly with the provider.

For county public-health services, Arkansas Department of Health lists health units in Rogers and Siloam Springs. The Benton County Health Unit in Rogers is listed at 1200 W. Walnut St., Suite 2200, and appointments are required. Contact the unit to verify current services, appointment details, payment options, and charges before going. ^{healthy.arkansas.gov} OCH lists a Rural Health Clinic with family practice and additional services at 102 Russell Road in Rogers; call to check availability and charges.

Get help reviewing a bill

Full Service includes advocacy, bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support. For planned care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible so the team can review the service, documentation, and price before the expense is incurred.

An itemized bill is required for submissions and should show service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may also request medical records, clinical notes, diagnosis or procedure details, provider documentation, billing records, or a signed release to review eligibility, medical necessity, and fair pricing. Submit complete documents within six months of the service date. Submit a balance bill, denial, or payment demand within 10 days of receiving it.

SakeOf may negotiate or reprice a bill. An unreasonable price may limit eligibility until negotiation is complete. Keep your membership active, meet the applicable member commitment, and provide requested documents promptly. Ask the provider directly about amounts due while a bill is being reviewed.

Understand support for larger eligible expenses

For a larger medical event, Full Service brings together advocacy and fair-price review with voluntary member-to-member community funding for eligible expenses. The applicable member commitment and program rules matter. Eligibility and any support are subject to review, and community funding is voluntary; do not assume a particular bill will qualify or that a specific amount will be shared.

If you are planning higher-cost care, contact SakeOf beforehand when reasonably possible. Keep the estimate, referral or treatment details, and itemized bills together, and respond to documentation requests. An expense paid or discounted through an optional feature cannot also be counted as a separate sharing request for the same charge unless SakeOf expressly approves an eligible remaining balance.

Match optional features to your needs

Optional features can add services or discounts for specific needs when selected, active, and eligible. Maternity Care adds $18 per month and has a continuous 12-month waiting period; pregnancy must begin after that period is complete. Adding or restoring the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible. Review the feature details before making plans.

Other available options include Dental and Vision Discounts, Chiropractic and Acupuncture, Physical and Occupational Therapy, and Durable Medical Equipment. Each has its own monthly adjustment and terms. The calculator and Savings Guide can help you compare membership options and understand the features you are considering. You can also search for providers or ask Jordan a question.

For Arkansas program information, Access Arkansas describes health-care programs and DHS contact options. The Arkansas Medicaid portal provides a provider search.
