Privacy Policy

Southern Oregon Weight Healthy is committed to protect your medical privacy. HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is given to every patient/guardian. Protected medical information may be disclosed to other treating physicians/providers. Purpose of this information may be disclosed to insurance companies, to facilitate payments, prescriptions and referrals to other healthcare professionals.

Financial Policy

Southern Oregon Weight Healthy is committed to provide the highest level of quality medical service. Conversely, it is the patient/guardian’s responsibility to meet their financial obligations. Since our clinic accepts many different insurance plans, it is impossible for us to know all covered benefits, co-pays and deductibles. We are here to assist, but it is your responsibility to ensure that all services rendered are paid in full. You are responsible for portions of services not covered by insurance, including co-pays and deductibles. Please bring proof of current insurance at every clinic visit. Southern Oregon Weight Healthy accepts cash, check or credit cards for payment. Co-pays are due at the time of service.
