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. Before I forget - my rating of "Nurse/Assistant" retains to the technician who performed the photographic examination my eyes.Dr. Niimi is everything one could hope for in a health care provider: knowledgeable, skilled, extremely thorough, a clear communicator, and a genuinely kind and considerate person.
