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. Dr. Sheppard is wonderful! Purpose of my visit was to establish care. He was very attentive and after assessing my overall health he made some very helpful recommendations to keep me fit and healthy. I also happened to have an issue with sudden hearing loss the day before my appointment and he did a great job explaining and showing with images what happens with sudden hearing loss.
