A different way to healthcare in New Matamoras

Start with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to make everyday care and medical-bill decisions more manageable. Instead of beginning every care decision with a coverage question, start by identifying the need: a common illness, ongoing primary care, a prescription, counseling, or an in-person service.

Your next step depends on the service and the options active in your membership. SakeOf can connect members to direct services where available and provide a process for reviewing eligible medical bills. Use the calculator to explore membership options, the Savings Guide to understand the approach, and provider search when you need to find care.

Use everyday care options for the right situations

For a common, non-emergency illness or symptom that is appropriate for a remote visit, Zero Copay Telemedicine can offer a low-friction place to begin when selected and active. Clinical appropriateness, provider availability, technology, state rules, and prescribing requirements apply. If a clinician recommends an in-person visit, lab, imaging, or specialist, those are separate services to arrange and consider.

For ongoing care, Virtual Primary Care is an optional direct service with a dedicated physician relationship, virtual follow-up, an annual virtual wellness visit, and chronic-care or medication-management support when clinically appropriate. It has a monthly adjustment and requires the specified Rx, telemedicine, and mental-health features to remain active. Check current membership details before choosing it.

Rx and Prescription Benefits may help with prescription needs under their own program terms. A prescription may be issued through telemedicine when clinically appropriate and legally permitted, but the medication cost follows the active Rx program. Confirm whether a medication is included and what it may cost; a prescription does not automatically include its price.

Mental Health and Counseling, when active with its required features, provides on-demand telephonic counseling through the current service partner, with face-to-face consultations available in specified circumstances when arranged and available. It can also help connect someone with other resources when more care is needed. Psychiatry, inpatient behavioral-health care, and medication costs are separate needs to discuss with the appropriate provider or program.

Choose local in-person care and confirm the details

For a student in Frontier Local School District, Akron Children’s lists a school-based health-care location at 44870 Ohio Route 7 in New Matamoras. Listed services include care for minor illnesses, well visits, physicals, and immunizations. Call 330-543-7242 to ask about eligibility, consent, hours, appointment availability, and charges. This school-based service is a specific starting point for eligible students, not a general clinic listing for every resident.

Washington County lists a New Matamoras public-health outreach location at the United Methodist Church Annex Community Resource Center, 602 Third Street, on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon. Call the county health department at 740-374-2782 before visiting to confirm the schedule and which services are currently offered. The department’s main location is 340 Muskingum Drive, Suite B, in Marietta; it lists public-health services including vaccinations and a nursing clinic, with availability to confirm by phone.

For hospital or other outpatient care, Memorial Health System lists Selby General Hospital among its Marietta locations. Contact the health system or specific provider to check the service you need, current appointment access, participation, billing, and expected charges. These local listings are useful starting points; they do not establish that a particular appointment is available or that a service has a particular price.

Before planned care, contact the provider with questions about the service and its charges. When reasonably possible, contact SakeOf in advance for planned higher-cost care. Labs, imaging, specialist visits, in-person follow-up, and facility services may involve separate bills and should be confirmed directly.

Get help when a medical bill is hard to understand

SakeOf’s Full Service advocacy can help members work through eligible medical bills. The process can include checking documentation, reviewing whether the expense meets program requirements, assessing price fairness, and negotiating or repricing a bill where appropriate. This gives you a place to ask for help when a charge looks unclear or unusually high.

Keep the itemized bill and respond promptly to requests for records. An itemized bill should show service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may also request clinical notes or other documentation to review eligibility, medical necessity, and fair pricing. Submit complete documents within six months of the service date; submit balance bills, denials, or payment demands within 10 days of receiving them.

Plan for a larger eligible medical event

For a larger eligible event, SakeOf’s approach includes the applicable member commitment and may involve voluntary community funding. Eligibility, documentation, medical necessity, and price fairness are reviewed under program rules; funding and payment are not guaranteed. Keep your membership current, meet applicable responsibilities, and contact SakeOf in advance for planned higher-cost care when reasonably possible.

Ask what member commitment applies to your membership and the care you are planning. If an optional feature has already paid or discounted a charge, that same charge cannot be counted again as a separate sharing request unless SakeOf approves an eligible remaining balance.

Explore other options and take your next step

Households may also want to review available membership options related to maternity, dental and vision discounts, chiropractic or acupuncture, PT/OT, or durable medical equipment. The details and rules vary by option, so check what is currently offered, what must be selected and active, and what member responsibilities apply before relying on a feature. For maternity, for example, program rules include a continuous 12-month waiting period before pregnancy begins; adding or restoring the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible.
