We know insurance and billing can be overwhelming and we are happy to help. We’ve gathered the information people need most here. Please review it to see if we’ve addressed your question. If we haven’t, or if you still need help, we’re here to help. Contact our Revenue Cycle Department at 541-687-4905 or CBOBillingSupport@oregonmed.net. We are open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:45 pm.

Payment options for out-of-pocket costs

Payment for your visit and services is due at the time of service, including co-payments, co-insurance, and unmet deductibles. If we are unable to provide you with the total for the portion of the visit that is not covered and that you must pay “out of pocket,” OMG will bill you. Your payment is due in full when you receive the statement.

To make a payment for care received on or after February 1, 2022, please do so through MyChart, our new patient portal. If you aren’t signed up for MyChart, it’s quick and easy. Click here to sign up today!

Advance Cost Estimate Notice for Self Pay Patients

If you are an uninsured or a self-pay patient, you have the right to a good faith estimate of expected charges prior to receiving services if your appointment is scheduled three (3) or more days from the date of the request. This estimate may not include tests ordered the day of your appointment.

If your appointment is scheduled three to nine (3 to 9) days from the date of a request for an appointment with us, Oregon Medical Group will provide a written good faith estimate of expected charges prior to the services. You should expect to receive a letter sent via first class mail or a printable estimate through your Patient Portal. You may also receive a phone call from us with the advance cost estimate prior to your services. If your appointment is scheduled nine (9) or more days after the request for an appointment with us, you should expect to receive a letter sent via first class mail or a printable estimate through your Patient Portal. Please update your address and verify with us that we have your most up-to-date current address.

How health insurance billing works

After your visit, Oregon Medical Group will bill your insurance carrier on your behalf. In order to do this, we will need a copy of your insurance card with complete and accurate information about your health plan. We will also need your full name, address, phone number, date of birth and insurance identification number. If any of the information is incomplete or incorrect it could result in a denial from your insurance carrier. The accuracy of this information is the patient’s responsibility, therefore you could be held responsible for the balance if your carrier denies it due to inaccurate or incomplete information.

The insurance carrier will notify OMG of the amount of your visit that is covered by insurance and what is your responsibility (co-pays, co-insurance, or deductible amount). At that point, you will receive a bill for the balance. That balance is due as soon as you receive the first account statement from OMG. If any part of the balance becomes delinquent, then the account balance may be forwarded to an outside agency for collection.

Please note that the timeline for insurance processing varies by the insurance company. You may not immediately receive a bill because of that. Do not assume that if you have not yet been billed, that there is no balance due.

Medicare

Learning about Medicare options can be overwhelming, especially when you are just turning 65. We would like to help you make an informed choice that makes the most sense for you and your health.

Things to consider when choosing a Medicare health plan include

Can I continue seeing my OMG Primary Care Physician on the health plan I am considering?
Are my prescriptions covered by this plan?
Is my pharmacy in this plan’s network?
Does this plan include the benefits that are most important to me?

To compare your current Medicare or Medicare Advantage health plan to the health plans we currently accept, please visit Medicare’s Find Health & Drug Plans to begin your search. Medicare covers a “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit, as well as a yearly “wellness” visit.

Medicare Advantage

We believe the best way to be healthy is to stay healthy. That is why we encourage our Medicare patients to choose a Medicare Advantage plan accepted by Oregon Medical Group. Medicare Advantage plans help you and your provider work together to keep you healthy through prevention, care coordination and disease management. More than 11,000 Oregon Medical Group patients are benefiting from Medicare Advantage plans.

Medicare Advantage plans must, at a minimum, provide the same benefits as Original Medicare.
Many Medicare Advantage plans include additional services and benefits not provided by other Medicare programs (i.e. vision, dental, gym memberships).
The Medicare Advantage plans we contract with encouraging disease prevention and chronic care management, which significantly improves the quality of care and reduces overall healthcare costs.
Prescription drug (Part D) coverage is also included with most Medicare Advantage plans, providing the convenience of one bundled product.
With Medicare Advantage, you will not need Medigap (supplemental) coverage.

The balance remaining after your insurance has paid results from any unpaid copayments, coinsurance, or unmet deductibles according to your benefit plan with your health insurance carrier. Please contact your health insurance carrier directly if you have questions about the health services that your insurance plan may or may not cover, or about any amount that they have applied to your patient responsibility.
If there is a balance on your account after your insurance carrier has paid that portion, it means there are unpaid copayments, coinsurance, or unmet deductibles according to your benefit plan with your health insurance carrier. Please contact your health insurance carrier directly if you have questions about the health services that your insurance plan may or may not cover, or about any amount that they have assigned to you as “patient responsibility”.
If your health insurance coverage has changed and may affect payment for services that have already been provided, please contact our Billing Department at 541-687-4905. If the changes will only affect future services, simply provide your new health insurance card and information to us at your next visit.
Your OMG provider may have ordered medical services from another medical facility. The group completing the testing will bill you and your insurance separately from Oregon Medical Group. Examples of items or procedures that you may receive a separate bill for include surgery, anesthesia, labs, hospital or surgery center, and any durable medical equipment (braces, crutches, etc.) If you have questions about the billing from non-OMG medical facilities, please contact that provider using the information on the statement you received.
It is OMG’s responsibility to ensure that the healthcare coding and billing that we submit to you or your insurance carrier accurately reflects the services that were provided to you during your visit. If you disagree with the billing, please contact us at 541-687-4905 or via email at CBOBillingSupport@oregonmed.net. Note that coding is prescribed by others, and OMG is required to follow these guidelines. We are very careful to follow all federal, state, and local coding and billing rules and guidelines.
Our Physical Therapy Department is a contracted service provided by Therapeutic Associates. You will receive a bill from Oregon Medical Group for your visit to our physical therapy department.
