You are also able to pay for treatment using FSA or HSA cards!
Dr Yurkish offers a financial hardship rate as well, if these prices are outside of your means please reach out to him via email to discuss this option.

Do you accept Motor Vehicle Accident claims?

Yes!
You must have an active claim number prior to your first appointment.
Oregon is a “no-fault” state when it comes to car accidents, and all auto insurance policies carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This means that regardless of who was at fault, your medical treatment will be covered by your auto policy's PIP coverage, usually at no cost to you.

What is the cancellation policy?

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a gap in the schedule that could have been filled by another patient. As such, Dr Yurkish requires 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee.
Generally, the cancellation fee is $75. However, frequent late cancellations or missed appointments may result in an increase to cover cost of the appointment, payable prior to any further appointment being made.
