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.

  1. Dr. Bayer is fantastic. She always looks over my chart before coming in so she is aware of any new NST, ultrasound, or MFM results. I never feel overlooked or forgotten in her care. She takes the time to answer all questions and is so kind in her reassurance. Any time I've sent a MyChart message, she responds very promptly. I really love her as my OB!
