Request an eConsult

We offer access to expertise from an OHSU specialist. An eConsult is a non-urgent electronic request for written guidance on a specific clinical concern. If you are a licensed, direct-care provider in Oregon or Washington, you can send clinical questions, along with all appropriate medical information, and get advice or care recommendations electronically in EpicCare Link within about three business days.

This service supports you in managing your patients in your community. An eConsult alleviates barriers to access like distance, wait time and specialty care shortages.

Billing for eConsults

OHSU will bill your patient’s insurance after screening for financial assistance. Co-pays apply, except for patients insured by Oregon Health Plan, for whom there are no costs.
