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. Explained things very well and ask questions that were appropriate.

  2. She was informative and took time to address my questions and concerns.

  3. Great staff and very caring Drs and nurses

  4. Top notch health care

  5. Doctor and staff did fine jobs.

  6. My experience with the clinician was good except I felt rushed. I am extremely disappointed in how long it takes to get scheduled for very important time sensitive procedures. The scheduling is very poor at OHSU. It takes too much time to get scheduled for appointments and surgery's!

  7. She is very nice but only have had one visit so not sure about recommendations

  8. Dr. Fang went over the test results and gave me her conclusions. I had a hard time hearing her because she was wearing a mask. I have had questions after my visit and I'm not sure how to get them answered.

  9. Dr. Fang is all around great! Love her as my doctor.

  10. Dr. Fang and her team are amazing. I have never had a physician who personalized my care so much.

  11. She is very approachable, personable and knows her stuff and explains it all in an easy to understand way.

  12. Everyone was knowledgeable and so nice

  13. The most significant challenge was understanding and communicating about data contained in most recent MRI

  14. Dr Fang has been very helpful and informative through these stressful times. She has been very engaged with my case and is great about answering any questions throughout. I feel very fortunate to have her and her team in my corner.

  15. Great experience

  16. Couldn't have been better!

  17. Professional

  18. Dr Fang exhibited all the qualities of an outstanding clinician and human being. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring.

  19. The appt was for 10:30am, yet the doctor and her assistant didn't show up until 11:10am. The doctor was wearing a mask and I had a hard time understanding her. I got the impression that the doctor wasn't in a good mood and didn't believe what I was saying. She was not very personable and couldn't understand why I was crying. She handed me a form with two tests she said needed to be done. Once I had the tests done, I could call her for an appt. She gave me no ideas or suggestions on how I should handle dealing with the pain I was experiencing.

  20. Overall I'm upset that the communication has been poor and I'm beginning to think that I'm being treated poorly and that Dr fang doesn't want to complete my surgery. If that is the case just provide me a different surgeon.

  21. She is always very thorough and answers all of my questions.

  22. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, lovely human

  23. She listens, invites questions and drew a picture to help me understand my anatomy.Very personable

  24. My wife and I have been very pleased with how I have been cared and treated for during my stays at OHSU. 6 months I had to stay for a few days and just had to stay again for a few days. Both times the staff has been very attentive and caring for me.

  25. Dr. Fang is a fine surgeon. No concerns. She is studied, prepared, clear about all positives and possible negatives

  26. Appreciated her kindness and honesty

  27. Smart, kind

  28. Dr. Fang, is very dedicated and works very hard to do her best for Her patient. The surgery in December was very very long and tedious and difficult. I was very fortunate to have Dr. Fang, and Dr. Mosley. I am totally satisfied with how it turned out even though it wasn't plan A. My Care at OHSU Was very good. The nurses were wonderful.

  29. Feel like we're going to be well cared for.

  30. Dr Fang was very personable and explained everything and asked permission before she did anything and she stopped when I expressed pain.
