Healthcare before Medicare in Crooksville

A more practical way to approach care in Crooksville

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to make care easier to organize: start with the kind of help you need, consider the available care options, and get support understanding medical bills. Members can choose participating features that suit their needs, while keeping the ability to select providers for in-person care.

For everyday questions, an active Zero Copay Telemedicine benefit can connect members with telemedicine for common, non-emergency concerns appropriate for a virtual visit. If the next step is a prescription, an active Rx and Prescription Benefits feature may help with prescription arrangements under its program rules. A prescription’s cost follows the active Rx program; ask about the specific medication and pharmacy before filling it.

Start with the SakeOf calculator or Savings Guide to see how membership options and feature selections work together. Jordan can also help you understand the choices and identify a useful next step.

Use virtual care for the right everyday needs

Telemedicine can be a convenient first step for common illnesses or symptoms when a clinician determines that virtual care is appropriate. Availability, technology, state rules, clinical judgment, and prescribing rules still apply. If the clinician recommends labs, imaging, specialty care, a procedure, or an in-person follow-up, those are separate care needs to plan for.

For ongoing support, Virtual Primary Care offers a dedicated physician relationship, follow-up, an annual virtual wellness visit, and chronic-care or medication-management support when appropriate for virtual care. This feature is available only when selected and active, and its current bundled tier also requires active Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling.

Mental Health and Counseling is another optional feature. Counseling does not automatically include psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, neuropsychological testing, residential substance-use treatment, or medication costs. Check the active program details for the services you are considering.

Genesis Primary Care lists family medicine and primary care in Crooksville, but its Crooksville office is temporarily closed following storm and flood impacts. The practice says patients are being served at 167 S. Main St. in Roseville; call 740-982-6872 to confirm the current location, services, scheduling, participation, and expected charges before you travel.

Shriver’s Pharmacy is listed at 120 S. Buckeye St. in Crooksville, with phone number 740-982-3081 and weekday hours of 9 a.m.–7 p.m. Its listing says it is closed Saturday and Sunday. Call to confirm current hours, prescription services, prices, and arrangements for your medication.

For county public-health services, the Perry County Health Department is based at 2235 State Route 13 in New Lexington. Its services include nursing, immunizations, disease control, health education, environmental health, and emergency preparedness; call 740-342-5179 to ask about current services, appointments, and any fees. A Perry County resource guide also lists Perry County Family Practice at 1625 Airport Road SE in New Lexington; confirm its current location, services, appointment availability, and charges directly.

These are local starting points, not a promise of an appointment, a particular price, or participation in a specific program. If you need in-person care, contact the provider about the service and expected charges, and use SakeOf’s provider search or Jordan to help think through your next step. For an emergency, seek emergency care rather than using a routine virtual-care process.

Get help when a medical bill is hard to understand

When a bill arrives, SakeOf’s Full Service can help members with bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support, subject to program rules. For higher-cost planned care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible so you can understand the process and what documentation may be needed.

Keep the itemized bill, including service dates, provider details, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may request medical records, clinical notes, billing records, or other documentation 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.

Understand support for larger eligible events

For a larger eligible medical event, Full Service may involve an applicable member commitment and voluntary community funding. The event must meet the program’s eligibility and documentation rules; funding, eligibility, and payment outcomes are not guaranteed. Keep your membership current, respond to documentation requests, and contact SakeOf in advance about planned higher-cost care when possible.

If maternity support matters to your planning, the optional Maternity Care feature has a continuous 12-month waiting period that must be completed before pregnancy begins. Adding or restoring the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible. Review the membership guide for event limits and other maternity rules before making plans.

Choose additional features around your needs

Optional membership features include dental and vision discounts, chiropractic and acupuncture, physical and occupational therapy, and durable medical equipment. Each applies only when selected, active, eligible, and used according to program rules. Check the current feature details for what is included and any member responsibility.

To compare your options, use the calculator and Savings Guide, then check provider availability and expected charges directly. Ohio Medicaid has state information on benefits, provider directories, and applying for assistance. For Medicare-approved provider comparisons, Medicare Care Compare is a federal resource; neither a directory nor a comparison tool guarantees availability or tells you what an individual service will cost.
