Payment Information

We accept cash, check or credit cards for all services provided. All services are eligible for use with Healthcare Savings Accounts and Healthcare Reimbursement Accounts.

Insurance Coverage

Osher Center clinic has begun accepting insurance coverage for some services. At this time we accept insurance for MD/NP visits provided at the Center. It is important that patients review their insurance plan benefits carefully to determine if their plan pays for the service(s) that will be received at the Center. Some insurance plans may require pre-treatment authorizations for certain services. There may also be frequency limitations to the number of visits approved for a particular service. If this is the case patients are expected to obtain prior approval from their insurance carrier and provide a copy of the authorization for treatment to the Osher Center clinic staff. If the plan does not cover a specific service patients are expected to pay for the service provided. 

Self Pay for MD/NP visits

In the event the insurance plan does not cover a particular MD/NP visit at the Center patients are responsible for payment. In this case the fee for the service will be discounted 30% from the UCSF Fee Schedule. At the time of the visit patients are asked to sign an insurance waiver which acknowledges that their insurance plan does not cover the service being provided. It is expected that patients are prepared to make the payment for the service at the time of the visit.

The clinic providers and staff at Osher Center value our patients. The staff will be available to answer your questions.
