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.

  5. I have dealt with chronic illness most of my life at the age of 61 but nothing like I have since Covid hit me in 2020. No one has made such a difference in my life and improved my quality of life the way Dr. Herman has. The people that work with him Are always courteous and people I would want to see again. If they don't make a big deal about something like my pain. It's because I didn't. I was probably hiding it. I would go back in the survey and change my answer.
