A different way to healthcare in Mineral Wells

Start with care, not a maze of payment steps

SakeOf is a healthcare membership for people who want a more practical way to arrange care and manage medical expenses. You choose among membership options, then use the care pathway that fits the need: virtual support for appropriate everyday concerns, a local clinician when an in-person visit makes sense, and bill review when a medical charge needs a closer look.

For someone in Mineral Wells, that approach can pair flexible provider choice with a verified nearby primary-care contact. WVU Medicine lists Family Medicine, Mineral Wells Primary Care at 1397 Elizabeth Pike, Ground Floor, Mineral Wells, WV 26150, and gives 304-865-5706 as its phone number. Call to confirm appointment availability, services, and charges before scheduling.

Use virtual options for everyday care when they fit

If you need help with a routine concern, begin with the virtual care options you have selected and kept active. Zero Copay Telemedicine is an optional feature. Virtual Primary Care is another optional feature, with virtual primary-care access and ongoing follow-up support through the current service partner. It includes an annual virtual wellness visit and health-risk assessment, as well as chronic-care follow-up and medication-management support when clinically appropriate for virtual care.

Virtual Primary Care has prerequisites: Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling must remain active for the current bundled service tier. These options can give members a lower-friction place to start for appropriate needs, while an in-person exam, lab work, imaging, or specialist visit may still need to be arranged separately with a provider.

When prescription support matters, Rx and Prescription Benefits are optional and apply only when selected, active, eligible, and handled under program rules. A medication or related charge may remain separate, including when a medication is not eligible under the applicable program rules. For emotional support, the optional Mental Health and Counseling feature may include problem assessment, supportive counseling, follow-up, and crisis support, with referral to other resources when more care is needed. Check the current membership details for the applicable terms.

Choose local in-person care when you need it

For ongoing primary care or a concern that needs an in-person assessment, contact Mineral Wells Primary Care directly at 304-865-5706. Ask whether the clinic is accepting appointments for the service you need, what the visit will cost, and what payment arrangements are available. The address is 1397 Elizabeth Pike, Ground Floor, Mineral Wells, WV 26150.

Parkersburg is also a regional care hub, with Camden Clark Medical Center hospital and outpatient services listed in its directory. Confirm the particular location and service directly before traveling. For county public-health services, the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department lists its Wood County office at 1824 Murdoch Ave. in Parkersburg and says a sliding fee schedule may apply to some clinical services; ask the office about the specific service and fee. These local options are access points to check, not a ranked recommendation.

You remain able to choose a provider. Before planned care, ask about charges and payment arrangements; for a hospital service, look for the facility’s published charge information and request an estimate where available. Labs, imaging, in-person follow-up, specialist care, and other services can involve separate bills, so clarify which providers will bill you and keep their itemized statements.

Bring confusing bills to SakeOf for review

When a bill seems unclear or high, SakeOf’s Full Service advocacy can help with bill verification, fair-price review, and negotiation support. SakeOf reviews eligibility, medical necessity, documentation, and price fairness and may negotiate or reprice medical bills. For planned care, contact SakeOf in advance when reasonably possible; unreasonable pricing may limit eligibility until negotiation is complete.

Keep the itemized bill, including service dates and provider details; CPT or HCPCS codes are useful when available. SakeOf may also request records or other documentation to review a request. Submit complete documents within six months of the service date, and submit a balance bill, denial, or payment demand within 10 days of receiving it. If a charge was paid or discounted through an optional feature, it cannot be counted again as a separate sharing request for the same charge unless SakeOf expressly approves an eligible remaining balance.

Understand support for larger eligible events

For a larger eligible medical event, the process can include documentation review, fair-price assessment, negotiation, and the applicable member commitment. The standard event commitment is $500, subject to program rules and the details of the request. Eligible larger events may also be considered for voluntary community funding; that funding is voluntary, not guaranteed. Contact SakeOf early for planned care so the team can explain the steps and documentation for your situation.

Members may also consider optional features for specific needs. Maternity Care is an optional feature with program rules, including a continuous 12-month waiting period that must be completed before pregnancy begins for maternity expenses to be considered. Dental and Vision Discounts, Chiropractic and Acupuncture, Physical and Occupational Therapy, and Durable Medical Equipment are also optional features. Each applies only when selected, active, eligible, and otherwise handled under its program rules. Under the PT/OT feature, eligible services have a shared 12-visit limit and $780 annual maximum across the enrolled membership, with a $35 feature-specific member responsibility replacing the standard $500 event commitment for eligible visits.
