Do you take insurance?

Yes. Dr. Christensen is in network with Providence, PacificSource, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and Moda health plans.

He accepts HealthShare’s CareOregon Physical Health Plan, but does not accept other OHP HealthShare Medicaid plans or the HealthShare CareOregon Mental Health plan. He does not accept Medicare.

Not all plans cover naturopathic medicine, so please confirm your coverage prior to your visits.

Do you take OHP/CareOregon/HealthShare/Medicaid?

Dr. Christensen only accepts one version: the HealthShare CareOregon Physical Health Plan.

He does not accept other OHP HealthShare Medicaid plans including Kaiser, Providence, Moda, and PacificSource. He does not accept other OHP plans including Trillium. He can not bill for services under the HealthShare CareOregon Mental Health plan. We recognize this is confusing.

If you would like to switch to the HealthShare CareOregon Physical Health Plan so you can see Dr. Christensen, you can call HealthShare at 503-416-8090.

Do you confirm insurance coverage and benefits for me?

No. Insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company. You are responsible for confirming your benefits and deductibles. If insurance denies coverage, you are responsible for payment.

Do I have to pay a co-pay before my visit?

No. An invoice for your co-pay is billed to you after your visit by Dr. Christensen’s contracted medical billing company. The length of time it takes for you to receive an invoice for your co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible is dependent on your insurance company’s processes.

Do you offer superbills?

Yes. This can be provided to you after payment has been received. Please notify Dr. Christensen that you would like to receive a superbill at the beginning of your visit.

What is a superbill?

A superbill is an invoice for services that you can submit to your insurance company directly. Based upon your coverage, you may receive a reimbursement from your insurance company.
