Thanks. Mayo is on back burner for me now. Other reply was right about them not accepting Medicare Advantage plans, they said I could have my Dr. send them a referral and they could submit to administration to see if they could make an exception. I could switch to regular Medicare but would have to wait til Jan. 1st for it to kick in. In process of Trying to get an appointment with Stanford Medicine Cancer Center. UCLA will accept my plan per my phone conversation with my Insurance rep. MD Anderson is out.

you might consider switching to original Medicare anyway. I admit I know very little about the advantage plans. I have Medicare with Humana supplement. I was old enough to get plan F. Plan F pays all the deductibles. I think your age will need a plan G. Some deductibles are not covered. Humana has silver sneakers so I like the gym coverage. Why I picked original Medicare is I can go anywhere in the US and be covered as long as they accept Medicare. Advantage plans require approval or Dr networks. I didnt want to mess with it. I dont have a dental plan. I just pay the $100 every 6 months for cleaning. You have until Dec 7th.
