Referrals & Preauthorizations
The Business Office will attempt to acquire a referral from your primary care doctor if your health plan requires one.
Referrals can be difficult to obtain. Please be aware that if you choose to be seen before you have received a valid
authorization prior to your appointment your insurance may not pay for the visit. If you are having a procedure that
requires prior authorization, the Business Office will obtain this for you. The Business Office cannot guarantee
payment for services or quote benefits from your health plan. Patients are ultimately responsible for knowing their
coverage limitations and benefits.
Insurance Billing
As a courtesy we will bill your primary and secondary insurance for you. However, primary responsibility for the
account is yours. Providing correct insurance billing information is the responsibility of the patient. If your insurance
changes, please present your new card at your visit. All of our providers are participating providers with Medicare. If
you are insured directly through the State of Oregon or are insured through Oregon Health Plan please bring your
current medical card with you to each appointment. If you do not have your insurance card with you at the time of
your visit you will be billed for the services if you have not provided us with valid insurance information.
