Healthcare options for contractors in Salem

Start with the care you need—not a billing maze

SakeOf is a healthcare membership that helps members approach care through selected services, provider choice, advocacy, fair-price review, and voluntary member-to-member community funding for eligible medical expenses. The practical first step is simple: identify whether you need quick advice, ongoing primary care, a prescription, counseling, an in-person evaluation, or help with a bill.

Then check which SakeOf features you selected and have active, and use the lowest-friction appropriate option. A virtual visit may be useful for some concerns; a local clinic, testing site, specialist, or hospital may be needed for others. Care received from a provider does not by itself establish that a charge qualifies for a SakeOf program feature.

Use everyday-care options that match your situation

For a new concern or follow-up

Zero Copay Telemedicine is an optional feature. When selected and active, it can provide a virtual route for appropriate care. If the concern needs an examination, testing, imaging, or hands-on treatment, ask the clinician what should happen next and confirm the cost and location of any in-person service.

For prescriptions

Rx and Prescription Benefits is an optional feature. Check the active benefit details before filling a prescription, and ask whether the specific medication and pharmacy process apply. Medication costs or prescriptions outside the feature’s terms may be separate; do not assume a prescription is included just because a virtual or primary-care visit took place.

For counseling or continuing primary care

Mental Health and Counseling is an optional feature that may include an immediate problem assessment, supportive counseling, follow-up when available, crisis support, and referrals when more care is needed. Psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, neuropsychological testing, residential substance-use treatment, and medication costs are not included merely because counseling is active.

Virtual Primary Care is an optional direct service with a dedicated physician relationship, ongoing virtual follow-up support, an annual virtual wellness visit, health-risk assessment, and chronic-care and medication-management support when clinically appropriate. The current service requires Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling to remain active. In-person follow-up, labs, imaging, specialists, or medications may involve separate services or charges.

Choose in-person care around Salem

When you need a local appointment, SRMC Primary Care - Salem is listed at the Salem Medical Arts Building, 2020 East State Street. Contact the practice to confirm its current services, appointment availability, participation in any applicable plan, and expected charges.

For hospital or outpatient care, Salem Regional Medical Center is in Salem and publishes a price-estimation tool, standard-charge information, billing contacts, and financial-assistance information. Use an estimate as a planning starting point: ask what it includes, whether professional or testing bills may be separate, and how to discuss financial assistance. Confirm provider and facility details before non-emergency services.

CAA of Columbiana County operates a community health center in Salem. The agency reports that its Salem Health Center relocated to 600 East 2nd Street effective May 20, 2026, and lists 234-575-6003 for questions. Call to verify the current address, services, appointment access, and costs before going.

Public-health services are another local resource, but distinguish city services from countywide programs. Salem City Health District provides vaccination-clinic information with phone scheduling. Columbiana County General Health District lists services including immunizations, disease-control programs, health education, and screening services; contact the district to confirm current locations, eligibility, fees, and availability.

Bring confusing bills to SakeOf advocacy

If a bill looks unclear or unusually high, Full Service offers advocacy, bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support. Keep the itemized bill and related records, then use the SakeOf submission process to ask for review. An itemized bill should include service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may request clinical or billing records to assess 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. Review depends on the applicable program rules and documentation; assistance does not guarantee a particular price, payment, or outcome.

Understand support for larger eligible expenses

For larger eligible medical events, Full Service combines advocacy and fair-price review with the applicable member commitment and voluntary community funding. Check the Program Guide for the commitment, eligibility rules, and process that apply to the specific expense before relying on a possible sharing amount. Community funding is voluntary, and eligibility and any amount considered depend on program rules and review.

Maternity Care is a separate optional community-sharing feature available with Full Service when offered and selected. It requires continuous active membership and active maternity selection for at least 12 months before conception; the member responsibility is $5,000 per eligible pregnancy, with community sharing up to $25,000 after that responsibility, subject to program terms. Review the full rules before making care or financial plans around this feature.

Pick household options and take a useful next step

Depending on the household’s needs, optional features also 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 under its terms. Check feature details for participating services, costs, and any limits before scheduling or purchasing.
