Healthcare before Medicare in Trimble

A membership built around practical care choices

SakeOf is a healthcare membership that brings together selected everyday-care services, provider choice, bill advocacy, and voluntary community sharing for eligible larger needs. It offers a different starting point from an insurance-first approach: identify the care you need, see which membership features fit, and choose an appropriate provider for in-person care. Full Service adds review and advocacy for eligible medical bills; Major Medical Only is the other primary membership program.

Your next step can be simple. Use the SakeOf calculator or Savings Guide to compare membership options and selected features. If you already have a planned higher-cost service or a bill you do not understand, contact SakeOf to ask what information to gather and how the review process works.

Use everyday-care features when they fit

When Zero Copay Telemedicine is selected and active, members can access 24/7 urgent-care telemedicine with unlimited medically appropriate consultations through the current service partner. It can be a convenient first step for an appropriate acute concern. The clinician can help determine whether virtual care fits the concern and what next step makes sense.

Rx and Prescription Benefits, when selected and active, provide access through participating pharmacies to approximately 70 acute medications described in current partner materials. Check whether the specific medication and pharmacy participate before relying on the feature.

Mental Health and Counseling can include on-demand telephonic counseling, follow-up with the original counselor when available, crisis support, and referrals when more care is needed. The service may also include up to three face-to-face counseling consultations per incident when arranged and available.

Virtual Primary Care is an optional feature with a monthly adjustment. With its required bundled features active—Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling—it provides a dedicated physician relationship, an annual virtual wellness visit, health-risk assessment, and ongoing virtual follow-up, including chronic-care and medication-management support when clinically appropriate.

Get help making a medical bill clearer

Full Service includes review of eligible expenses for documentation, medical necessity, and fair pricing. SakeOf may negotiate or reprice a bill when appropriate. For planned higher-cost care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible to ask about the review process.

Keep the itemized bill and provider information together. Submissions need an itemized bill with service dates and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may also request clinical notes, medical records, billing records, or other documentation. Complete documents should be submitted within six months of the service date; send a balance bill, denial, or payment demand within 10 days of receiving it.

Understand the path for eligible larger expenses

For a larger medical event, SakeOf reviews eligibility and documentation, and reviews or negotiates pricing for fairness when applicable. The applicable standard-event commitment or feature-specific member responsibility is applied first. Remaining eligible amounts may then be matched to voluntary community funds, subject to program limits and available funds. Approved amounts may be paid through the member wallet or card, or directly to a provider, depending on the process.

Keep membership active, meet applicable member responsibilities, and respond promptly to documentation requests. If an optional feature already paid for or discounted a charge, that same charge cannot be counted again as a separate sharing request unless SakeOf expressly approves an eligible remaining balance.

Compare options for your household and take a next step

Depending on the options selected, members may also consider maternity, dental and vision discounts, chiropractic or acupuncture, physical or occupational therapy, and durable medical equipment. Each applies only under its feature terms. Maternity has a continuous 12-month waiting period: pregnancy must begin after that period is complete, and adding or restoring the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible.
