Will there be any new services offered due to the partnership at The Portland Clinic - Columbia?

The Portland Clinic offers a wide range of services and specialties and your physician may refer you to be seen by a Portland Clinic specialist or to have a diagnostic test at another Portland Clinic facility. The benefit of referring you to another Portland Clinic specialist/service is that you do not need to have your medical record transferred and the specialist will have access to your medical history to treat your whole health. You can review the list of specialties we have here.

What changes can I expect the next time I have a doctor’s appointment at The Portland Clinic - Columbia?

The next time you check in at your appointment, we will make a copy of your photo ID and insurance card, and you will have the opportunity to review and update your demographic information (address, phone number, etc.). We will also give you some extra information to take with you. We have designed this process to minimize any inconvenience to you and add only a few extra minutes to the time you spend checking in. You should not notice any changes in your care and will receive the same quality of care.
