Is Mayo accepting Medicare patients at this time?

@amylz, Mayo Clinic is a participating Medicare facility at all locations in Arizona, in Florida, in Rochester, Minn. and at all Mayo Clinic Health System locations. Learn more here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/billing-insurance/insurance/accepted-insurance

If you are unsure about your coverage and acceptance, please contact Mayo Clinic Patient Account Services to ask specific questions.

Has your cardiologist submitting a physician referral for you?

He has offered to write the referral. It’s in process

That's a good way to start. Let me know if you have any questions.

The referral has been sent. What’s my next move?

@amylz, once the referral has been reviewed by a Mayo Clinic, you will be contacted. You may be interested in related discussions in the Visiting Mayo Clinic support group. See these:

It says I have a current password but I don’t remember creating a password so mi can’t use the site as there is no tab for “forgot password and it won’t let me change to a new one without knowing the current one.

I have been trying to get into Mayo for about three months now to see a neurologist. They keep saying "none is available" I wonder if that is true or are they not taking Medicare at this time.

My Cardiologist sent a referral last week. I haven’t heard anything from them. My heart may not make it in time to get fixed. Is there anything I can do to get Mayos attention soon?

@hjeff, I’m sorry to hear that you are have not been able to get an appointment with a neurologist. It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate steps to seek care at Mayo Clinic. There may be several reasons that an appointment was not available. Over the last few years, Mayo Clinic has experienced unusually high demand for appointments, which has exceeded the capacity (appointments available). Or after reviewing your case, Mayo's physician experts may have determined that Mayo Clinic cannot offer any further treatment different from that you are already receiving.

Neurology is a large practice area. May I ask which condition you are requesting an appointment for? Did you submit the referral or did your doctor submit the referral?
