I’m basically in your situation, but in Central Florida. I am 66 with a 4.7 cm aneurysm at the root. I have a local cardiologist but a couple of years ago started seeing a second one at Mayo Jacksonville. He is my portal into that system, if I need surgery down the road. I have had no issues with Medicare paying for services both locally and at Mayo.

I got a referral from my GP to A thorasic surgeon at Mayo clinic Phoenix . Got my approval from Blus Cross Idaho to be seen by the Doctor at Mayo . Called to make an appointment and was told by Mayo scheduling that they do not accept Medicare Advantage , so would not schedule me. Very frustrating : back to squere one um 75 at 4.5 ascending AA .
