Healthcare options for contractors in Cincinnati

A more practical way to arrange care

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to put a useful care path in your hands. Start with the kind of help you need: use an active membership service for an appropriate everyday concern, choose a provider when you need in-person care, and bring confusing bills to Full Service advocacy for review. For larger eligible medical events, the applicable member commitment and program rules guide the process; voluntary community funding may also apply.

This approach gives you a place to begin without taking provider choice out of your hands. Check your active features, ask providers about services and expected charges, and use the calculator or Savings Guide to compare membership options. If you want help choosing a next step, ask Jordan or review membership options.

Use everyday services that fit your needs

When selected and active, Zero Copay Telemedicine provides telemedicine access at zero dollars through the current service partner. Rx and Prescription Benefits is a separate optional feature. Check the applicable terms for the particular prescription or service you are considering rather than assuming every medication or cost is included.

Mental Health and Counseling, when selected and active, includes unlimited on-demand telephonic counseling at no member cost and 24/7 access to master's-level counseling professionals for the member and eligible enrolled dependents. Up to three face-to-face counseling consultations per incident may be arranged when available. Counseling may also help connect someone to appropriate behavioral-health resources when more care is needed. Psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, and medication costs are not automatically included through this feature.

Virtual Primary Care is an optional feature with a $15 monthly adjustment. When selected and active, it offers zero-dollar virtual primary-care access, a dedicated physician relationship, an annual virtual wellness visit, and follow-up for chronic care or medication management when clinically appropriate for virtual care. The feature requires active Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling. Use the calculator or membership options to see whether the feature fits your priorities.

Choose local care for in-person needs

Cincinnati Health Department’s City of Cincinnati Primary Care operates six community health centers offering medical care and lists dental services. Call 513-357-7320 to ask about appointments and which center offers the service you need. The city’s listing is a useful starting point; confirm current services and arrangements directly. ^{summitcountyhealth.org}

Hamilton County Public Health lists STI/HIV testing and treatment, tuberculosis services, and Children with Medical Handicaps program support through its county clinic at 5050 Section Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45212. Call 513-946-7610 to ask about current services, arrangements, and any fees before visiting. This is a county resource located in Cincinnati, not a ZIP-specific service listing. ^{summitcountyhealth.org}

UC Health and TriHealth list care locations in Cincinnati. For planned hospital or health-system care, contact the specific provider to ask about services, access, participation relevant to your situation, and expected charges. UC Health provides a route to request patient-care estimates. TriHealth lists financial assistance and financial-counseling contacts; ask TriHealth about current requirements and eligibility. ^{www.scph.orgwww.cityofbarberton.com}

Get support when a bill is hard to understand

Full Service advocacy can help verify bills, review fair pricing, and support negotiation. Start with the itemized bill, which should include service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may request clinical notes, medical records, billing records, or other documentation to review the submission.

Submit complete documents within six months of the service date. Send a balance bill, denial, or payment demand within 10 days of receiving it. Keep your membership active, fund required asks, and contact SakeOf in advance for planned higher-cost care when reasonably possible. Advocacy is a review and support process; the applicable program terms and documentation guide the outcome.

Know how larger eligible needs are handled

For a larger eligible medical event, the applicable member commitment is part of the process. Voluntary community funding may also be used for eligible events, subject to program rules and review. Eligibility and any amount that may be shared depend on the documented event and program terms; no particular result is promised.

If you are planning a procedure, ask the provider for an estimate and contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible. Keep estimates, bills, and provider records together so you can respond to information requests and understand the steps involved.

Choose optional features and take your next step

Optional features address different needs when selected and active under their terms. Maternity Care has an $18 monthly adjustment; Chiropractic and Acupuncture, $14; Physical and Occupational Therapy, $11; and Durable Medical Equipment, $7. Rx and Prescription Benefits has a $10 adjustment, while Zero Copay Telemedicine has an $8 adjustment. Review membership options to compare feature costs and requirements.

Dental and Vision Discounts has a $9 monthly adjustment and provides access to applicable participating-provider discounts. Discounts vary, and members pay participating providers directly at the applicable rate. Routine dental and vision services are not community-sharing expenses unless another written program term expressly says otherwise.
