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.

  15. Overwhelmed with the outstanding care that Dr. Akhavein provided for me. A++++ Not only am I lucky to be her patient. I'm even more fortunate I waited for her to come to BEAVERTON. But Beaverton location is truly fortunate to have her on staff. She so professional, yet she made me feel so comfortable. I had no hesitation to ask my many questions. It's hard for many specialists because patients health go beyond one issue. Yet, Dr. Akhavein was one that connected ALL the dots for me. Because she listened and looked at me as a whole. And as you know, patients don't all express correctly their symptoms. We fumble with it. Dr. Akhavein knew how to ask those right questions. Maybe overwhelmed wasn't the word to use. I was ecstatic, confident, and fortunate to have her as my doctor. I can say after my two apprs this week, I felt heard. I do hope that OHSU upper management realizes the exceptional doctors that are on their staff. As a patient, and after covid, I highly recognize our need for highly skilled medical staff. My concerns are that they are overloaded with patients. We have to remember they are human n have lives outside their professions. If OHSU upper management doesn't care, that's a no win situation for all of us. I do hope these doctors are recognized for their outstanding care. Some patients can't see it. Thanks for having her at Beaverton.
