OHSU is committed to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of student health information. We take your confidentiality very seriously and welcome any questions about specifics.  Read more on our Confidentiality webpage

• All information disclosed within primary care and behavioral health appointments is confidential and may NOT be revealed to anyone outside the Student Health and Wellness Center without your written permission, except as allowed by law.
• Student Health functions as an independent health clinic distinct from your academic and/or research program. All electronic medical records are kept behind a special firewall (similar to psychiatric records) which prevents all non-Student Health healthcare providers at OHSU from viewing any Student Health clinic notes.
• All Student Health providers are prohibited from ever grading or evaluating our patients in any of their educational or training settings. While we might meet with or speak to student or postdoctoral groups in an academic setting, any form of evaluation is strictly prohibited.
• For more detailed information, please contact us at 503-494-8665.

Please review our SHW Costs of Services chart that outlines when SHW bills your insurance and when you may incur out-of-pocket costs. At Student Health, most services have no costs, including Primary Care office visits (though medications or other recommendations that occur in the visit may have a cost), Behavioral Health appointments, and all Wellness offerings (including the Food Resource Center).

There may be costs for such as pre-entrance or travel vaccines, labs, imaging, acupuncture, massage, referrals to specialists, and any care performed outside of Student Health. These services are subject to your insurance coverage and any remaining balance would be paid for by you. Please remember, it is your responsibility to ask about any applicable costs prior to services being performed. Please ask your provider, our front desk team, or refer to the SHW Costs of Services chart if you have any questions or concerns about billing.
