Insurance Assistance
NHC has a team of trained Enrollment Assisters to help you understand your insurance options and apply for a health insurance plan that works best for you. This support is available free of charge. Contact a clinic close to you to ask for Enrollment Assistance.
Good Faith Estimate
Beginning January 1, 2022, Community Health Centers must provide something called a Good Faith Estimate. This estimate will explain how much care will cost for patients who are uninsured or who wish to pay out of pocket for services rather than bill their insurance. If you have concerns about an estimate you have received, please call (503) 941-3035. Learn more: Good Faith Estimate Notice. English Notice / Spanish Notice
