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.

  4. Listens carefully, answers thoughtfully and thoroughly, makes clear and understandable recommendations.

  5. Dr Burnett listens, advises and supports without being condescending or dismissive. I have recommended him numerous times. Plus he takes a minute to talk in a way to connect instead of rushing right into the medical parts. That is really appreciated.

  6. Dr Burnett is an amazing listener, excellent clinician and I really appreciate his honest opinion regarding next steps in resolving medical issues that arise. I feel he appropriately consults with specialists concerning my care and only sends me to for further evaluation when he determines it is necessary. He is a good steward of health resources, in addition to the best INTERNAL MEDICINE PCP in the OHSU system.OHSU has many challenges currently and has through poor upper management decisions, has lost a tremendous number of outstanding providers. If Dr Burnett leaves, I'm out of there to!
