Hello Holly @samiam1949. I totally understand your concerns and had them myself. Correct, Mayo does accept Medicare . My PRC visit was 100% covered through Medicare but being from New York, I did need out of network coverage, which cost a little extra. The kicker is affording travel, meals, and housing accommodations. I was blessed, and my father donated to my cause. Understandably, not all can be so lucky. It can be a chunk of change. I stayed right across the street from Mayo in FL at a hotel that provided transportation to and from each day. There are different options for housing from hotels to airbnbs that may be more affordable.

Yes, the program begins at 8:00 a.m. and typically runs until 4:30 Monday through Friday for 3 weeks. They are long days but are strategically structured to balance rest and activity and keep you occupied with very engaging lectures and support from peers and staff. If you're interested in attending the program, I recommend you pose any questions or concerns to the PRC location you may be interested in. Would you like me to provide you with contact information?
