A different way to healthcare in Aurora

Make a care plan around what you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to help members organize care and understand medical costs. Depending on the options selected and active, membership can bring together direct-service or discount benefits, healthcare advocacy, fair-price review, and voluntary member-to-member community funding for eligible expenses. This gives you a way to consider everyday care, local providers, and bill support as parts of one practical plan.

Start by identifying the kind of help you need now. For an everyday concern, check your active telemedicine, Virtual Primary Care, counseling, and prescription options. If you need an exam, test, imaging, specialist, or hospital service, you can choose a provider that offers it and confirm appointment details and expected charges directly. For a larger expense, keep estimates and bills together so you can ask about advocacy and the applicable program rules.

Membership options differ. Compare them to see which services and features are selected, active, and relevant to your needs. The Savings Guide and Jordan can help you decide what to check next.

Use everyday-care options that fit

When selected and active, Zero Copay Telemedicine can offer a convenient first step for appropriate everyday concerns. Virtual Primary Care may be another option for ongoing primary-care needs. Check your membership details for each service’s access instructions and terms. A virtual visit may point you toward another step if an in-person exam, testing, or more specialized care is needed; confirm the next service and its charges with the provider.

Mental Health and Counseling, when active, may include immediate problem assessment, supportive counseling, follow-up with the original counselor when available, crisis support, and referrals to appropriate behavioral-health plans or local community resources when more care is needed. 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 program would need to expressly provide them.

Prescription benefits are designed primarily for medications commonly prescribed for acute conditions. A medication on the current formulary may be available at $0 when the participating-pharmacy process and prescribing and dispensing requirements are met. Check the current pharmacy tool before filling a prescription because formularies, participating pharmacies, and vendor rules can change. Non-formulary medications may have a negotiated or discount price, but are not automatically $0 or eligible for community sharing. Chronic-maintenance, specialty, and other medications outside the active formulary require a separate active program if one applies.

Choose a provider and confirm local details

SakeOf supports provider choice: you can look for a provider who offers the service you need, then confirm participation, appointment availability, and expected charges directly. For hospital estimates, ask whether the amount includes only facility charges or also professional fees, labs, imaging, and other services. Colorado’s statewide hospital-price tool supports comparisons at participating facilities; confirm the included services and fees with the facility before relying on an estimate.

Aurora’s Anschutz Medical Campus includes UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children’s Hospital Colorado. UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital is at 12605 E. 16th Avenue in Aurora and describes a broad range of inpatient and outpatient care. A campus location does not confirm that a specific clinician, service, or appointment is available, so contact the hospital about what you need.

Arapahoe County Public Health lists Aurora locations at Altura Plaza, 15400 E. 14th Place, and Aurora South, 15192 E. Hampden Ave. County programs include prevention, testing, immunization, nutrition, and family-support services, but offerings and eligibility vary by program and site. Contact the county to confirm the location, service, appointment requirements, eligibility, and any fee before visiting.

Health First Colorado has statewide provider-search and member-support resources for provider-finding, benefits, bills, and pharmacy questions. Participation and appointment availability can vary, so confirm them directly with a provider. ^{www.healthfirstcolorado.gov}

Get support understanding medical bills

If a bill is confusing or seems higher than expected, SakeOf Full Service advocacy can help with bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support under the applicable program rules. Keep the itemized bill and related records together. An itemized bill is required for submissions and should include service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available.

SakeOf may also request clinical notes, medical records, diagnosis or procedure details, provider documentation, billing records, or a signed medical-record release to review eligibility, medical necessity, and fair pricing. Submit complete documents within six months of the service date. Send a balance bill, denial, or payment demand within 10 days of receiving it. Check your member submission instructions and send documents promptly.

Understand help for larger eligible expenses

For a larger medical event, SakeOf combines advocacy and fair-price review with voluntary member-to-member community funding for eligible medical expenses. The member commitment and other requirements depend on the applicable program and membership materials. Review those terms before submitting an expense. A review or submission does not guarantee eligibility or funding.

If care is planned, ask for an estimate and request a breakdown of facility charges, professional fees, and other services. If care has already occurred, save the itemized bill and any related records. Advocacy can help you understand the review process and address pricing questions under the applicable rules; community funding remains voluntary and subject to program requirements.

Check additional options and take a next step

Depending on the options selected and active, membership may also offer maternity, dental and vision discounts, chiropractic or acupuncture, PT/OT, or durable medical equipment. Each has its own terms. For example, the maternity feature requires a continuous 12-month waiting period to be completed before pregnancy begins. Potentially eligible durable equipment may include medically necessary walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, prescribed braces, hospital beds, nebulizers, or CPAP machines when ordered by a qualified provider.

For a local plan, compare membership options and use the calculator or Savings Guide to explore your next step. Use provider search to identify possible care options, then confirm services, participation, appointment availability, and charges directly with the organization. You can also ask Jordan what information to check for telemedicine, prescriptions, a local appointment, or a bill review.
