My daughter has been denied also, Urologists. My insurance care manager suggested anyone can go to the Mayo Clinic ER. Although an appt would be great. Sadly the appt process requires patient to go to one discipline. This has been her problem. The symptoms are urological but urology refuses to do anything about it. This is why we are going to Mayo Clinic because we don't know what is wrong. We have suggestions from urologists what they suspect this might be but we keep getting kicked back. We need the Mayo whole-body approach to help determine what is wrong, maybe this is infectious disease or auto immune or nephrology and results in urological symptoms. Therefore we are going to the Mayo ER and ask them for help. I did not know you could go to the ER. Maybe this will help you also.

Welcome to Mayo Connect. I am sorry for situation you are in with daughter, but I do not agree with your insurance carrier about just going to Mayo's ER for help. At ER, you will be triaged briefly to determine urgency in seeing a provider in ER. If ER is busy, and you're not an emergency, you will wait. Showing up at ER is not a guarantee of getting an appointment at Mayo, you may be told to follow up with your own provider.

In addition, you are taking resources away from emergency's (heart attacks, stokes, trauma, etc...) .

Is your daughter a minor or adult?
Did your providers do a referral to Mayo or did you request appointment on your own?
