Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.

  8. Very good

  9. All the staff took time to explain thoroughly what was going on with my eyes, the options moving forward and answered all of my questions.

  10. There are not enough positive adjectives for me to describe how much I love the Casey Eye Institute in Portland. I felt comfortable, listened to, and my concerns taken very seriously. Literally everyone, from the parking garage attendant, to the people at the registration desk, to the clinicians taken care of the test before I saw the actual doctor, and the doctor herself, was like a total dream team.

  11. They are100%. All off those who are serving me, everything they did, be it Medical. Opinion, Personal touch of my situation - that is music to my ears and total satisfaction. Their concern for my health and the care how they handled it, eas over the roof and out of the park..... And there was always a smile on both sides of the fence. Job/service.... Well done.

  14. Professional. Efficient. Answered questions with clarity.

  15. Knowledgeable, patient, upbeat.

  16. I felt the care was very good overall. I think I would have preferred for her to offer more information about my diagnosis and its long term implications as a lot of the information I received was the result of me asking questions rather than her explaining everything at the outset.

  24. She has done an excellent job with surgery on my corneas in both eyes. I would have appreciated more information in writing before the surgeries and regarding post-op care.

  25. Dr. Afshan A. Nanji is very professional, caring, and considerate. She answered all of our questions and concerns. She described the treatment plan and her reassurance was greatly appreciated.
