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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.

  11. My doctor listened to all of my concerns and tried to find ways to assist. She rechecked my medicines and planned how to respond if I had any further questions in the future.

She's taking over a big load and I think she's doing great she's helped me a lot and also the pharmacist helped me and we're changing up a lot of the meds and trying to get me off of insulin that's great!! Was improved immensely since coming back to Harold snyster's diabetic clinic and OHSU I'm battling stage 4 cancer and they have been a tremendous help compared to outside organizations that I was attended to I love OHSU and I can't talk enough of positiveness of the people that run the place doctor and also nurse there and all the people in between even the cafeteria is fantastic keep up the good work and I'm glad to be part of OHSU
