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.

  10. Very straightforward.

  11. there was a second doctor in the room and I wondered why and I even asked what his name was but maybe they are fearful of sharing that he was going to be doing the procedure as part of this training. It's a learning institution I would not have been too afraid since Dr. Chen was there, but Dr. Chen didn't say I don't think she said anything to me. I'm just very grateful for the procedure. It turns out the other doctor was just learning how to do my procedure and I'm OK with that but it would've been nice if that information didn't feel "hidden "
