About me

Dr. Claire McKinley is a psychiatrist who treats patients with advanced heart failure who have (or think they may have) problems with their mental health. The most common diagnoses she treats are depressive disorders and anxiety spectrum disorders. Dr. McKinley provides psychiatric medication management and assessment and recommendations for mental health support for patients in the evaluation process for ventricular assist devices or transplants.

Dr. McKinley enjoys helping people learn about their illness and their options for treatment so they feel able to participate more fully in their care and make the choices that feel right for them. She works as part of a team with psychology, nursing, social work and cardiology.

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.
