In ruby I have string that looks like this:
"\/v1\/195900\/patients?DEPARTMENTID=162&GUARANTORCOUNTRYCODE3166=1&offset=20"
how can I extract offset value from this string with regular expressions?

It doesn't satisfy your requirement to use a regex, but here is a way:
uri = "\/v1\/195900\/patients?DEPARTMENTID=162&GUARANTORCOUNTRYCODE3166=1&offset=20"
require "uri"
URI.decode_www_form(URI(uri).query).assoc("offset").last
# => "20"
or
URI.decode_www_form(URI(uri).query).to_h["offset"]
# => "20"

Assuming offset will always be present as offset= and it will always be a numeric value
str = "\/v1\/195900\/patients?DEPARTMENTID=162&GUARANTORCOUNTRYCODE3166=1&offset=20"
str.scan(/offset=(\d+)/)
#=> [["20"]]

You can use a positive lookbehind to avoid the nested array:
str.scan(/(?<=offset=)\d+/), or - since there is probably only one "offset" - just str[/(?<=offset=)\d+/]
