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.

  1. Always had a good experience.

  2. Ashley is personable, thoughtful and open about her reasoning. I appreciate her clear concern for my wellbeing.

  3. I have always had amazing things to say about Ashley but this visit was the complete opposite. We were VERY rushed and none of the concerns were addressed. I don't feel like I was heard at all!! We were 30 minutes early to our appointment so it's not like I showed up late. If they are behind schedule that should be no fault of the patient and we should not be rushed and disregarded because of that.

  4. Answered my questions and made me feel heard.

  5. Ashley Atwood has always taken very good care of me during my appointments and listen to me regarding my needs and what I am going through.

  26. I was there for a yearly checkup. We discussed my concerns as well as items of concern as I age. All in all, I felt it was a profitable visit. I liked that it didn't seem as rigid as earlier yearly checkups. Perhaps that is because I have a different insurance, but I felt that the staff trusted me to tell them how I was doing.
