A different way to healthcare in Morgantown

Start with the care you need

SakeOf is a healthcare membership designed to make care easier to organize and medical costs easier to work through. Rather than starting every question with a complicated payment process, members can begin with the type of help they need: a common illness, ongoing primary care, a prescription, an in-person evaluation, or support with a bill.

Your selected, active membership options shape the path. Some services are direct-access benefits, while other care may involve choosing a local provider and asking about its prices and payment arrangements. Use the calculator and Savings Guide to review the membership options that fit the way you expect to use care.

Use everyday-care options when they fit

For common, non-emergency symptoms that are appropriate for a virtual visit, Zero Copay Telemedicine provides access to urgent-care telemedicine through the current service partner. Consultations are described as 24/7, with no program limit on medically appropriate consultation frequency or duration; availability, clinical appropriateness, technology, state law, and prescribing rules still apply. Telemedicine can help you decide on an appropriate next step, but a recommended lab, image, specialist visit, or in-person follow-up is a separate service.

If Rx and Prescription Benefits are selected and active, the current service-partner information describes approximately 70 acute medications at $0 at participating pharmacy locations. A prescription may be issued when clinically appropriate and legally permitted; the medication and its cost depend on the active Rx program. Ask whether a medication is included before relying on a particular price.

Mental Health and Counseling, when active, can provide on-demand telephonic counseling, follow-up with the original counselor when available, crisis support, and referrals to appropriate resources. Virtual Primary Care adds a dedicated physician relationship, virtual follow-up, an annual wellness visit, health-risk assessment, and chronic-care and medication-management support when appropriate for virtual care. The current Virtual Primary Care bundle requires active Rx and Prescription Benefits, Zero Copay Telemedicine, and Mental Health and Counseling.

Choose local in-person care when you need it

When care calls for an examination, testing, a specialist, or hospital services, you can choose where to seek in-person care. In Morgantown, Monongalia County Health Department lists clinical, dental, WIC, and environmental-health services; call to confirm current services, hours, and appointments. The city also has J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, with emergency and specialty services, and Mon Health Medical Center. Confirm each facility's services and access details directly.

For planned hospital care, ask the facility and the clinicians involved for an estimate and clarify whether it includes separate professional, laboratory, imaging, or other ancillary charges. Mon Health provides a cost-estimate service and financial-assistance information. WVU Medicine explains that its published standard charges are not a final quote or a patient-specific out-of-pocket estimate. An estimate and the eventual bill can differ, so ask how to follow up if the services change.

For public-program information, WV PATH offers screening and applications for programs including Medicaid and WVCHIP. The West Virginia Bureau for Medical Services provides Medicaid member resources. Eligibility and benefits vary; check program details through the state resources before making plans.

Get help making sense of a bill

When a bill looks unclear or unusually high, SakeOf's Full Service advocacy can help members review the bill, verify its details, consider a fair price, and seek negotiation support. Keep the itemized bill, any estimate, and documents describing the care together; having them available makes it easier to explain the question and understand the next step.

Ask for help before paying a bill you do not understand, when practical. Advocacy and negotiation support do not guarantee a particular price or outcome. Check the applicable membership materials for how the service works and which member commitment applies to your situation.

Understand support for a larger eligible event

For a larger medical event, Full Service support can help members work through bill review and fair-price and negotiation processes. Eligible larger expenses may also be considered for voluntary community funding under program rules. Funding is voluntary, and neither eligibility nor a particular amount is guaranteed.

Before planned care, request a facility estimate, ask whether clinician and ancillary bills are separate, and contact SakeOf to understand the applicable member commitment and the review process. For emergencies, seek emergency care promptly rather than using a routine membership workflow.

Choose additional options around household needs

Some members may find other optional features useful when selected and active: Maternity Care; Dental and Vision Discounts; Chiropractic and Acupuncture; Physical and Occupational Therapy; and Durable Medical Equipment. Each feature has its own program terms and availability, so review the Savings Guide and membership materials before selecting one.

Maternity Care has a continuous 12-month waiting period, and the pregnancy must begin after that period is complete. Eligible expenses and limits are governed by program rules; adding the feature after conception does not make that pregnancy eligible. Ask SakeOf about the current rules before planning around a maternity benefit.
