@annie1 The first thing would be to check if Mayo takes your insurance because you can't get an appointment without it. Spine surgery is so expensive that it is out of reach for most people if you had to pay out of pocket. You can call Mayo's billing department to confirm insurance, but that is only open M-F during business hours.

Are you unsure you want to continue with your current surgeon? Do you have new information that changes your decision? Are you looking for a different option for surgery? Is there anything about procedures you want to discuss?

There is also a wait to get into Mayo after you send in imaging and records for review. They do take cases based on urgency, and that is decided by doctors there. There are some other hospitals in the Mayo Clinic Health System that are not the main Mayo Clinic, but are local hospitals in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Sometimes, you can get an appointment at one of those sooner (if they have a specialist you need and some are Mayo trained) than the main Mayo campus in Rochester if your insurance is accepted. Here is their website: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/

If you do want to apply to Mayo Clinic (any campus), you can use this link to contact them, and you will be called back by someone who will help you submit records and imaging. It is an online form where you fill out your information. This is how I contacted Mayo when I became a patient. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
