Does anyone know if Mayo will charge for a consultation or records review? Because he doesn’t have insurance other than the VA. And they haven’t sent him to one of their own neurologists so I know they won’t cover Mayo.

@hnrharrison I am tagging @eddiereen who started a discussion on getting VA approval for a Mayo Clinic consult:
-- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/getting-va-approval-for-mayo-is-a-nightmare/
Is your husband 65 years old or over and so qualifies by age for Medicare? If so, that will be useful in getting him to Mayo Clinic as he will have an option for insurance coverage with Medicare.
I am also tagging a few others who have suggestions and comments on working with the VA to get an outside consult. @19lin One of the Volunteer Mentors @johnbishop is a veteran and although he has not used the VA system he has had suggestions for helping a person through this process. Here is a website that @johnbishop recommended to get started:
About VA Health Benefits:
-- https://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/
Please read through some of these and then come back and ask other questions. Hopefully, others with VA experience will jump in here and provide you with suggestions.
