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.

  1. The Md seemed in a rush and so did the PA. It was a later appt so its understandable but taking a few extra moments to listen would be helpful

  2. He was not rushed and he listened to all my concerns.

  3. Very efficient in all aspects of care.

  4. Dr. Rugge is always a good listener and very willing to explain his thinking clearly.

  5. I have been going there for a very long time. And I am very happy with them.

  7. Very good appointment

  8. Positive

  9. Dr Rugge has always taken good care of me.

  10. Dr. Rugge is very easy to talk to and treats me as a brother. He tells me what he believes is in my best interest. He asks some questions that I believe are required of him, but not very useful to me. I.e. Do you have a gun in your home. Have you had the urge to commit suicide?

  11. He goes over everything and explained, so I understand.

  12. Good

  13. Great doctor. Always willing to listen!
