Healthcare when you work for yourself in Lucasville

Start with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership for people who want a more direct way to approach care and healthcare expenses. Start with the immediate need: urgent advice, a prescription, an in-person visit, or help understanding a bill. Your active membership options determine which services are available to you.

For an appropriate urgent-care concern, Zero Copay Telemedicine provides eligible consultations at $0 when active. Rx and Prescription Benefits must also remain active. Consultations are available by phone or video through a service partner, subject to clinician licensing and partner availability where you are. Use emergency services for an emergency.

For a first step, try the calculator or Savings Guide to explore membership options. Provider search can help you look for care, and Jordan can help you understand what to explore next.

Make everyday care easier to navigate

The optional Rx and Prescription Benefits include listed acute medications at $0 when the benefit is active and prescribing, pharmacy, and dispensing requirements are met. Check the current formulary and pharmacy process before filling a prescription. A medication outside the formulary may have a negotiated or discount price, but is not automatically $0 or eligible for community funding.

Telemedicine is a convenient option for an appropriate urgent-care consultation. A separate in-person visit, lab test, imaging service, or specialist appointment may require its own arrangements. Ask how each service will be handled before proceeding.

Depending on the membership options you select, Mental Health and Counseling, Virtual Primary Care, and dental and vision discounts may also be relevant. Use the calculator or Savings Guide to compare options, then confirm the current terms and service details for the option you are considering.

Choose local in-person care when you need it

For an examination or other in-person service, choose a provider based on the care you need and contact the office directly. Southern Ohio Medical Center’s Lucasville Family Practice is a documented outpatient primary-care clinic at 10 Thomas Hollow Road. Call to ask about current services, hours, new-patient status, appointment timing, participation in your arrangements, and an estimate of charges.

Beyond Lucasville, documented Scioto County resources include public-health services through Scioto County Health Department in Portsmouth and hospital-based care in Portsmouth through Southern Ohio Medical Center and King’s Daughters Medical Center Ohio. These are county-level resources, not confirmation of services or appointments at a specific address. Contact the organization you are considering to ask about current services, access, and payment arrangements.

For Ohio Medicaid benefits, applications, and provider-directory information, use the state’s official Medicaid portal. Medicare Care Compare is a federal tool for comparing Medicare-approved providers. A directory or comparison tool can help you investigate, but contact the provider to confirm current participation and appointment availability.

Get support with a bill or planned service

If a bill is difficult to understand, keep the itemized bill and contact SakeOf about its Full Service advocacy process. Advocacy can include bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support, subject to program terms. Ask what review steps and documents apply to your situation.

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 medical records, clinical notes, diagnosis or procedure details, billing records, or a signed records 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.

For scheduled care, ask the provider for an estimate and keep copies of estimates, bills, and messages. Provider charges and any amount handled through a membership process depend on the service and applicable rules. Share the details with SakeOf to understand what review may apply before or after care.

Understand support for larger eligible needs

For a larger eligible medical event, SakeOf’s process may involve documentation review, an applicable member commitment, and voluntary community funding for eligible expenses under program rules. Funding and review outcomes are not determined in advance. Ask SakeOf what the member commitment is for your situation, what documentation is needed, and how expenses will be reviewed.

Before scheduled treatment, request an estimate and ask whether facility care, specialist services, imaging, or lab work will be billed separately. Sharing the estimate with SakeOf can help you understand the relevant review process before care.

Explore options that fit your household

Membership options may include maternity, dental and vision discounts, chiropractic or acupuncture, physical or occupational therapy, and durable medical equipment. Check what is offered and active for your membership before arranging care or making a purchase. Potentially eligible equipment may include medically necessary walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, prescribed braces, hospital beds, nebulizers, or CPAP machines ordered by a qualified provider.

For maternity, pregnancy must begin after the continuous 12-month maternity waiting period is completed. Chiropractic and acupuncture have a combined limit of eight visits and a $240 annual maximum across enrolled membership; eligible visits must address an active symptom, injury, or condition. Use the calculator or Savings Guide to explore membership options, and ask SakeOf about the applicable terms for your situation.
