Questions & Answers
Are there licensed medical providers on staff?
Absolutely, the SBHC has a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant and a Mental Health Therapist on staff, plus a certified Drug & Alcohol counselor.
What about insurance?
The SBHC can bill most private health insurance plans and may collect a co-pay at the time of your visit. Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is also accepted, which does not require a co-pay. Contact your SBHC to see if they can take your insurance. No insurance? No problem. The SBHC will assess if you are eligible for a discounted fee, based on income. Families that earn less will pay less. No one will be turned away for their inability to pay.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are preferred, but if you have an urgent need, you can walk in. To make an appointment simply call the SBHC to schedule, or walk in and request a visit.
Is my appointment confidential?
Your privacy and safety are a priority at the SBHC. In general, adolescents have a right to privacy regarding some health information. If there is a safety concern, we are required to report by law. SBHC staff work with youth of all ages to involve parents/guardians in their care. If you have any questions about the confidentiality of your care, please ask our knowledgeable staff.
