Patient Information
It’s our mission to ensure you experience the highest quality of care in a compassionate setting from our first contact and medical consultation through treatment and recovery. If we can help you at any time, please do not hesitate to call us.
Whether you have been referred by another provider, or you are “self referring” with a hernia that is need of repair, we will work with you on a thorough consultation, comprehensive diagnosis and we’ll present you with an appropriate treatment plan.
If you acquired your hernia at work and insurance coverage is available, we’ll help with your worker’s compensation plan.

OUR PATIENT FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE COORDINATOR IS HERE TO HELP YOU
Dana Jorgensen, Bend Hernia Center’s patient financial and insurance coordinator, is committed to helping our patients better understand the costs associated with care, provide payment options based on individual insurance plans and will help finalize billing arrangements between all parties.
PAYMENT – We accept most insurance carriers’ coverage plans, however, the patient is ultimately responsible for the total cost of medical services provided by Bend Hernia Center. Changes in deductibles, coverage dates, pre-existing conditions and other insurance plan details may affect insurance reimbursements.
We will do the best we can to help you understand the costs of care and your insurance coverage options as well as work with you regarding payment options.
