About me

Alexandra Block is a licensed clinical social worker providing palliative care coordination, advanced care planning and psychosocial support for mental health and coping with serious illness. Her approach is centered around the individual needs of patients and their families — they are the experts in their lives and circumstances and should play an important part in their health care decisions and goals.

In her free time, she can be found wrangling her two young children and yellow Lab on the weekends as they explore new parks, trails and restaurants.

Ms. Block sees patients at the OHSU Palliative Care Clinic.

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.
