A different way to healthcare in Chester

Start with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to make care easier to arrange and healthcare costs easier to understand. Instead of beginning with a maze of payment steps, start with the need in front of you: a common illness, a prescription, ongoing primary care, an in-person service, or a bill that needs attention.

The membership’s options can connect everyday care with support for eligible medical expenses. Which services apply depends on the features you select and keep active, eligibility, and the program rules. Use the calculator and Savings Guide to explore the membership, then check provider search or ask Jordan about your next step.

For an everyday concern, consider the lowest-friction appropriate care

For a common, non-emergency illness or symptom that is appropriate for remote care, Zero Copay Telemedicine is an available option when selected and active. The service partner does not set a program limit on consultation frequency or duration, though availability, technology, state law, clinical appropriateness, and prescribing rules still matter. A clinician may recommend in-person follow-up, testing, or another service; those are separate care decisions.

For prescriptions, Rx and Prescription Benefits are an optional feature. A prescription may be issued through telemedicine when clinically appropriate and legally permitted, but the prescription’s cost follows the active Rx program. Before filling it, ask the pharmacy about current price and any payment arrangements that may apply.

Mental Health and Counseling can be added for counseling support. Psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, neuropsychological testing, residential substance-use treatment, and medication costs are not included merely because counseling is active. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, contact emergency services or go to emergency care.

Virtual Primary Care is an optional service tier that includes $0 virtual primary-care access through the current service partner, a dedicated physician relationship with ongoing virtual follow-up, an annual virtual wellness visit and health-risk assessment, and chronic-care follow-up and medication-management support when clinically appropriate. It requires Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling to remain active. Virtual care can help coordinate appropriate care, but it does not itself include labs, imaging, specialty care, procedures, emergency care, or in-person follow-up.

Use Chester-area in-person care when it fits

When a physical exam, test, therapy visit, or other in-person service is the right next step, you choose the provider. Research lists a WVU Medicine internal medicine practice at 101 California Avenue in Chester, along with a physical therapy location in the city. Confirm the practice’s current services, hours, appointment availability, and payment arrangements directly before you go.

Citizens Drug Store is listed at 501 Carolina Avenue, Chester, WV 26034. Contact the pharmacy to verify current hours, prescription services, and prices. If you need county public-health services, the Hancock County Health Department is at 850 North Chester Street in New Cumberland; its listed services include immunization, family planning, testing, environmental health, and WIC. Call to confirm current services, fees, and appointments.

For hospital-level care, the regional resource identified in the research is Weirton Medical Center in Weirton. Confirm the appropriate department, location, and current services directly. Community health center services are also listed by CHANGE, Inc. in nearby Newell; contact the organization to check appointments, available services, and payment arrangements.

Before scheduling a service, ask for the self-pay price and whether separate professional, facility, lab, imaging, or other charges may apply. A clinician may order care beyond the initial visit, so ask how each recommended service will be priced and handled. SakeOf supports provider choice; local providers determine their own availability and payment terms.

Get help when a bill is hard to understand

If a medical bill looks confusing or unusually high, SakeOf Full Service offers advocacy support that can include bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support. Gather the itemized bill, any related statements, and records of what was provided so the details can be reviewed. Ask Jordan or consult your membership materials about how to request support and which program rules apply.

For eligible larger medical events, the program’s standard event commitment is $500. Voluntary community funding may be available for eligible larger events under program rules; it is not guaranteed. Check the Program Guide and ask how an event is reviewed, what documentation is needed, and what member responsibility applies before relying on a particular payment outcome.

Choose add-ons around the care you expect to use

Optional features can make the membership more relevant to a household’s needs when selected, active, eligible, and used according to program rules. Maternity Care is available as an add-on. Dental and Vision Discounts provide a discount option, while Chiropractic and Acupuncture may be useful for eligible care related to an active complaint. Review the current feature details and pricing before enrollment.

Physical and Occupational Therapy is an optional feature for medically necessary services from an appropriately licensed therapist. It allows up to 12 combined eligible visits per membership year across the membership, with a $780 annual maximum. Eligible visits have a $35 feature-specific member responsibility instead of the standard $500 event commitment. An order, referral, or documented plan of care may be needed when clinically appropriate or required by law.

Durable Medical Equipment is another optional feature. Check the Program Guide for the applicable eligibility and limits. For any add-on, confirm that it is active and ask what services, costs, and requirements apply to your particular situation.
