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. An intern came in first to confirm my history, then the Nurse Practitioner returned along with the intern to conduct the assessment and to discuss medications and needed tests. The visit was very thorough and it resulted in immediate steps to get some tests done and to set a schedule for further tests to make sure that if my condition gets worse, it will be readily identified through scheduled tests. I was impressed with the knowledge of the team and with how thorough they were with my care.
