When family healthcare feels too expensive in Clendenin

A healthcare membership built around your choices

SakeOf gives members practical ways to organize everyday care and get support when a bill or price is difficult to sort out. You choose which optional direct-service or discount features fit your needs, where to seek in-person care, and when to ask SakeOf for help reviewing an expense. Full Service combines advocacy and fair-price review with voluntary community funding for eligible medical expenses.

To see how the options fit your household, explore the calculator and Savings Guide, use the provider search, or ask Jordan a question. If you are planning higher-cost care, contact SakeOf beforehand when reasonably possible so you can ask about the process and pricing before the service.

Choose everyday care features that fit

Zero Copay Telemedicine is an optional feature listed at $8 per month. When selected and active, it offers access to virtual visits under the feature’s terms and program rules. It can be a convenient route for concerns that are appropriate for remote care.

Rx and Prescription Benefits is listed at $10 per month, and Mental Health and Counseling is listed at $6 per month. Each is optional. The counseling feature does not by itself include psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, emergency psychiatric care, neuropsychological testing, residential substance-use treatment, or medication costs.

Virtual Primary Care is listed at $15 per month. It offers a dedicated virtual primary-care physician relationship, ongoing virtual follow-up, an annual virtual wellness visit, and chronic-care and medication-management support when clinically appropriate for virtual care. The current bundled service tier requires Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling to remain active. Check the membership options for current feature details before enrolling.

Pair virtual options with Clendenin in-person care

Cabin Creek Health Systems lists medical, dental, and pharmacy services at Clendenin Health Center, 107 Koontz Avenue, Clendenin, WV 25045. The listed numbers are 304-548-7272 for medical, 304-548-2160 for dental, and 304-548-2155 for the pharmacy. Listed weekday hours are 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. for the clinic and 8:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. for the pharmacy. Call the relevant department to confirm current hours, services, and availability before traveling.

The reviewed center information does not publish service prices. Ask for a price or estimate for the specific visit, procedure, or prescription you need, and ask about payment arrangements. Cabin Creek lists accepted payors on its location page; contact the center to verify participation and payment details for your care.

For another option elsewhere in Kanawha County, Southern West Virginia Health System lists family medicine, pediatric care, walk-in and same-day care, laboratory, and X-ray services at its Sand Plant Road location in Charleston. The site also lists Alum Creek Pharmacy. Confirm current service availability, hours, and payment details with the health system before making the trip.

Make provider choice and price questions part of your plan

You choose where to seek in-person care. Before scheduling, ask the provider whether it offers the service you need, whether an appointment is required, and what payment arrangements it accepts. Request a service-specific estimate when available. For hospital care, CMS explains hospital price transparency and Good Faith Estimates; an estimate may not include every professional or ancillary charge.

Ask whether labs, imaging, specialist visits, follow-up care, and prescriptions will be billed separately from the main service. Knowing which charges to expect helps you prepare questions for both the provider and SakeOf. Provider search and Jordan can help you think through your next step.

Get help reviewing bills and fair pricing

Full Service includes advocacy and bill review. SakeOf reviews submitted expenses for eligibility, medical necessity, documentation, and price fairness, and may negotiate or reprice a bill. For planned care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible. An unreasonable price may limit eligibility until negotiation is complete.

Keep the itemized bill, including service dates, provider information, and CPT or HCPCS codes when available. SakeOf may request medical records, clinical notes, billing details, or a signed release to verify an expense. Complete documents should be submitted within six months of the service date. Send balance bills, denials, or payment demands within 10 days of receiving them. An amount paid or discounted through an optional feature cannot also be counted as a separate sharing request for the same charge unless SakeOf expressly approves an eligible remaining balance.

Plan for larger eligible expenses and additional needs

For an eligible larger medical expense, Full Service brings together bill review, fair-price support, an applicable member commitment, and voluntary community funding. SakeOf reviews the documentation and price. Keep membership current, fund required asks, respond to documentation requests, and contact SakeOf about planned higher-cost care when reasonably possible.

Optional features can also be tailored to household needs: maternity care is listed at $18 per month; dental and vision discounts at $9; chiropractic and acupuncture at $14; physical and occupational therapy at $11; and durable medical equipment at $7. These features are selected during enrollment and follow their applicable terms and program rules. Use the calculator and Savings Guide to compare membership options, then ask Jordan about features relevant to your care plans.
