Insurance covering treatment at Mayo
Visiting Mayo Clinic | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
Thanks everyone. I will be going to Minn. campus. I did get the estimate for my initial gastro visit but I was unsure how it worked once they ordered test ect.
I know from having went to Mayo in Jacksonville once, that they suddenly just send you for tons of stuff.
My insurance now is a mess. I have great insurance but they never can tell me what will and will not be covered because it all depends on how the billing was coded. I have no control over the coding. So it is usually a guess.
Great to know billing desk there can go over things with me.
So can I get the estimate for a test that is ordered to be done next day or immediately?
At Jacksonville, I even had some issues with labs being considered "experimental". That I have zero way to know about or have any control over. Jacksonville always managed to recode or fix any uncovered things. Not sure how Mayo works in Minn.

@butterflykizzs I’m not sure how this works in Minnesota either. If there is a test ordered that is on your portal it’s very possible that the test has then been coded for payment. The portal should give you an estimate however it’s possible you could call or go to billing and ask at Mayo. You could also check with your own insurance as I mentioned earlier.
As I look at what we are communicating about I think to myself what a huge hassle this is. No one wants to surprised by what is paid for by insurance and what is not. I’ve had that surprise in the past when I had health care insurance through my employer. It was irksome and had to do with different billing practices at different locations (not Mayo - I’m referring to local billing when a for profit business took over our local hospital and medical system).
