There is no cost to families. Family Connects Oregon visits are covered by most insurance, meaning your insurance company will be billed, not you. You may receive an “explanation of benefits” letter from your insurance company, but this is not a bill, and you do not need to pay for anything. If you have no insurance, you still will not be billed for this service.
