Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.

Sam is the best! She's so experienced at understanding my problem, X-rays, my lifestyle and coming up with a plan
She was easy to talk to and showed me the X-ray. She attributed my pain to arthritis but I don't know if this is correct... It feels worse than that lately.
