Good Health Begins with Prevention

It is important to have a primary care provider, whether that person is a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. Your primary care provider is the leader of your healthcare team. Their knowledge of your health over time is invaluable.

CMH Primary Care Clinic’s providers work with you to help you navigate the ups and downs of life to help you thrive. CMH Primary Care Clinic is recognized by the Oregon Health Authority as a patient-centered primary care home, in keeping with the person-centered approach of all Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) clinics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

 

Q: What should I bring to my first appointment? click to open

A: Please bring the following:

• Your insurance card
• Photo ID
• New patient paperwork. You will receive new patient paperwork in the mail before your appointment. Please complete it before you come, or arrive 30 minutes early to give yourself enough time to complete the paperwork at the clinic.
• Advanced directive, power of attorney or POLST form, if you have them.
• All current medicines or supplements in their original, labeled containers
• Cash, check or card to make co-payment. If you do not have insurance or are a self-pay patient, you may speak with a Patient Financial Services Counselor before your visit at 503-338-7530. Financial assistance options are available.

 

Q: What is your policy on rescheduling and cancellations? click to open

A: If you arrive more than 10 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, you may be asked to reschedule, as the remaining time reserved for you will not be sufficient for the provider to address your needs. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.

 

Q: How will I learn the results of my test? click to open

A: Most results will be sent by mail within 7-10 business days. Any results requiring immediate attention will be communicated by phone, or in some cases, by a follow-up appointment. All results are provided after the provider receives the final report, which may take a week or more for some tests. If you’ve not heard from us within seven business days, you may call our clinic for the status of your results. Please note that results can only be given directly to the patient or authorized representative after the provider has reviewed them. If you would like to authorize anyone other than yourself to have access to your medical information, we will provide a release of information form for you to complete.
