I am really sorry to hear that.

And I keep seeing ads from them soliciting new patients. I'm sorry you've had this experience. It's kind of scary really. I hope you find someplace that will take you and make you feel comfortable.

I received a letter this year too, from Mayo, the breast clinic where I have been seen for the past 9 years annually, staffed by NPs, after discharge from the main clinic I followed up with until I met my five year milestone of no cancer. Letter said the clinic was not for patients like me who do not meet dense breast tissue criteria and who just need followup care. Not true when I was first started there.! I was told this was my alternative to being seen in the main clinic. I know the feeling of betrayal you are experiencing. I even purchased the more expensive Advantage Plan program so I could continue to be seen there. Something changed in healthcare reimbursement I think; not sure what prompted the change. I thought things were working well. But now everything topsy-turvy. It is frustrating to live in the same state as a Mayo clinic and not be able to be seen there. Especially as a former patient who was diagnosed with AAA at Mayo! As one other reader commented, why are they continually recruiting new patients when they won't see the patients that formerly received care with them? Really sorry you are experiencing this. I would try calling back or filling out a form again. Maybe the person was new and didn't understand criteria for appt? Perhaps this is about poor reimbursement from the Medicare Advantage plans? IDK. But that doesn't help the patients who need the care. If that is the case they need to make us consumers aware so we are informed when we choose plans. The squeaky wheel gets the grease....hope you can successfully be seen at Mayo again!
