Your insurance coverage
Please be prepared to present your insurance card when you check in for any appointment. We will bill all your insurance companies. You will be asked to pay any co-payment or deductible at the time of service. If we do not receive payment from your insurance company promptly, we will ask you to contact them directly to arrange for payment.
Shortly after services are provided at an SHS-affiliated hospital, clinic or outpatient service, a billing statement will be sent to your residence. We ask that you pay in full or contact us to arrange a payment plan within 30 days. We offer a 10 percent discount to patients with no insurance coverage, which will appear automatically on your statement. You may also choose to apply for free or reduced charges based on your income.
Financial assistance
It is our mission to provide exemplary health care services to all, regardless of ability to pay. If you qualify, your care may be provided free or at a reduced cost. The determination is based in part on poverty income guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Once a completed financial questionnaire has been submitted, families at or below 200 percent of the established Federal Poverty Level (FPL) could be eligible to receive free or discounted care.
To apply for assistance, you must complete a financial questionnaire and submit proof of income. Download the questionnaire (English | Spanish) or request one by calling (541) 768-4392 or (800) 640-5339.

Uninsured discount program
With the growing number of uninsured patients seeking care, we recognize the strain of paying medical bills without insurance coverage. Therefore, we have developed a discount program for our patients who do not have health insurance. Regardless of economic status, self-paying uninsured patients will receive a 10 percent discount. This discount will appear on your SHS billing statement.
