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.

Ratings and reviews

The patient ratings score is an average of all responses to the question "How likely would you be to recommend this provider to your family and friends (on a scale of 0 to 10)" on our nationally-recognized Press Ganey patient surveys.

  1. Our provider,Chelsea Doherty, was fabulous! She communicated very well with my daughter, who is generally very stressed in medical appointments.She explained everything in a child friendly way, including what was going on, how they figured it out, and what the plan is moving forward.

  2. Dr. Doherty spent a great deal of time with us answering questions and collaborating on the best plan of care. I really appreciated how she involved me in shared decision making.

  3. Was very good, able to answer all of my questions and had recommendations when I was talking about problems. Only issue was that she was late by twenty minutes.

  4. Based upon this initial appointment, I did appreciate the provider spent quite a bit of time discussing my child's history and our current concerns. We were disappointed she was running 35min behind schedule.

  5. Chelsea was amazing. Thorough and knowledgeable. Very much appreciated her time and guidance.

  6. Everything is fine

  7. She did address the problem. And listened. But I feel she was narrow minded and could have been more open to seeking other causes for the issue in a more patient and caring way. Yes, she's confident as more specialists are, but we're in the same place as several years ago and she gave the same direction.

  8. She is an excellent listener and very approachable. Gave high quality education, clear directions, and specific follow up instructions. Very happy with the care we received.

  9. Always very helpful and listened to all our concerns. Able to provide solutions and gave instructions in a clear and concise way.

  10. Was impressed with depth of knowledge and level of collaboration she and I were able to reach--felt already that we are on the same page.
