I am aware of some other military families who have been able to consult with Mayo and who have Tricare insurance. If the resources at Mayo Kanaaz referred you to above are not able to assist you, you might want to consult with the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association = http://www.4hcm.org. I know they sometimes help people access care and deal with insurance companies.

We have Medicare and VA health coverage. Rog is 68 yrs old, not retired from armed services or actice duty . He is a Vietnam Veteran serving in country from 1969 to 1971. I would like information from someone in the know at Mayo who can tell me why or if Mayo is not participating in Vet Choice which is a Federal Program for Vets who need care outside of the VA. This surgery (septal myectomy) is not done by many doctors Mayo"s claim as the best place to go for Doctor who have the most experience perhaps is limited by $'s. That is very sad.
