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.

  20. Dr, Olson and his students took their time to meet with me to discuss a genetic blood clotting disorder that I have that may be impacting our ability to have a successful pregnancy. Dr. Olson had done research on the rare genetic mutation that I have and explained how there isn't a lot of data out on this yet, but that he would support the method we were requesting to move forward with another IVF transfer on blood thinners. He was very empathetic and caring about our situation. He has offered to monitor my treatment on blood thinners if we have a successful pregnancy next year and we feel that this is going above and beyond to help us on something that is not very well known!
