A different way to healthcare in Chesapeake

Start with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership built around a practical sequence: find an appropriate care option, choose where to go, and get support understanding the resulting bill. Members can use healthcare advocacy, fair-price review, direct-service and discount benefits when selected, and voluntary member-to-member community funding for eligible medical expenses.

For a routine question or a new symptom, consider which available care option fits the situation. For urgent or emergency needs, use appropriate emergency services rather than a routine appointment or membership workflow. For planned care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible, especially if the service may be costly.

Use everyday-care options when they fit

Depending on the membership and which features are selected and active, everyday options may include Zero Copay Telemedicine, Virtual Primary Care, mental health and counseling, and prescription benefits. These can offer starting points for certain routine needs; the available service and its terms depend on the member’s active program features and applicable rules.

A prescription benefit does not mean every medication or pharmacy charge is included. Check the current benefit details for the medication and service you need. Labs, imaging, an in-person follow-up, a specialist visit, or a medication outside applicable benefit terms can be separate expenses. If care needs to move from a virtual visit to an in-person setting, use a provider that fits the clinical need and confirm how the service will be billed.

Find in-person care around Chesapeake

FMC Chesapeake, a Family Medical Centers location, is listed at 717 Third Ave, Chesapeake, OH 45619, with family practice, pediatrics, and behavioral health among its listed services. The clinic’s listed phone number is 740-867-6687. Its page notes renovations, so call to confirm current site arrangements, hours, services, and appointment availability before traveling.

Use the listed services as a starting point, not a guarantee that a specific clinician, appointment, or service is available. When you call, describe the care you need and ask whether the clinic provides it at that location, what appointments are available, and what charges or payment arrangements may apply. If you use another form of coverage, confirm provider participation and your expected responsibility with both the provider and the applicable coverage source.

Family Medical Centers describes locations across Lawrence County that offer services including primary care, pediatrics, dental, and behavioral health. The organization also describes sliding-fee scales for qualifying self-pay patients. Ask directly about eligibility and the expected charge for the specific service; county-level service information does not establish availability or price at a particular location.

Get help when a bill is unclear

If a bill seems confusing or unusually high, SakeOf’s advocacy and bill-review process can help members work through the documentation and pricing. SakeOf reviews eligibility, medical necessity, documentation, and price fairness, and may negotiate or reprice bills. Keep the itemized bill and contact SakeOf about the next steps; for planned higher-cost care, reach out in advance when reasonably possible.

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 records or other documentation to verify eligibility, medical necessity, and fair pricing. Submit complete documents within six months of the service date, and submit balance bills, denials, or payment demands within 10 days of receiving them.

Understand support for larger eligible expenses

For a larger eligible medical event, the applicable member commitment and program rules matter. After reviewing the expense, SakeOf may support eligible bills through voluntary community funding, subject to documentation, medical-necessity and fair-price review, participation status, feature limits, exclusions, and available community funds. Community funding is not a guaranteed payment.

Keep membership active, maintain a valid payment method, fund required asks, and meet the applicable member commitment. Optional features apply only when selected, active, eligible, and otherwise subject to program rules. An item or service paid or discounted through an optional feature cannot be counted again as a separate sharing request for the same charge unless SakeOf expressly approves an eligible remaining balance.

Check options for household and ongoing needs

Members may also want to review options related to maternity, dental and vision discounts, chiropractic or acupuncture, physical or occupational therapy, and durable medical equipment. These are not all interchangeable benefits: whether a service, discount, or expense applies depends on the member’s selected, active features and the program’s terms.

For maternity, the program guidance specifies that pregnancy must begin after a continuous 12-month maternity waiting period is completed; adding or restoring the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible. For other planned services, check the current program details and ask about eligibility and expected provider charges before proceeding.
