Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.

Very nice environment. Eased my child's nervousness before the visit.
She is friendly, skillful, good communicator, made me feel valued and important.
I have to say eye doctors at OHSU have to be the nicest providers. We had such a great experience. She was patient and kind and very thorough. Am very happy with the outcome of our visit. I wish providers at OHSU gave the same kind of care when you do not feel rushed.
