Cancer Collaborative

A: You may schedule an appointment by calling the Cancer Collaborative at 503-338-4085. When you call, we will ask:

• Your name
• Your date of birth or Social Security number (This helps ensure that your medical information is not confused with someone who has a similar name.)
• The reason for the appointment (Be as specific as possible so that we can reserve the right amount of time for your visit.)
• That you specify whether you want a particular doctor/healthcare provider or the first available appointment.

A: Please bring with you:

• Your insurance/Medicaid/Medicare card. We will verify your coverage, so we can process your bill correctly.
• Your co-payment or prepayment, if required by your health insurance plan. We accept cash, personal checks, VISA debit cards, American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA.
• A list of your medications, including current prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins or supplements, as well as a list of known drug allergies. Print and complete this wallet-sized Medication Record, which you can keep in your wallet for handy reference.
• If you are being referred to CMH by a physician or clinic not affiliated with CMH, please arrange for them to send your medical records and X-rays prior to your visit.
• You may also find it helpful to bring a list of your symptoms, questions or health concerns to your appointment.

A: Whether your insurance provides coverage for treatment will depend on your diagnosis and your specific insurance benefits. We recommend that you contact your insurance company directly to verify that Columbia Memorial Hospital is a participating provider for your insurance plan. If you need assistance with benefits and eligibility, we may be able to help. Please contact our billing and insurance department.
