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.

  26. Doctor Gradin was kind, pleasant, and obviously knowledgeable and competent. He quickly assessed my mom's condition and problem. And made additional recommendations regarding aftercare and supplements. We discovered that Mom needs a full eye exam and also new glasses. I wish Doctor Gradin could do that for her. But apparently her current insurance will not allow that. So we will have to go elsewhere for those.
