My Wife Will Die If I Can't Find Someone to Help Her

I am in a similar sinking boat; Mayo Clinic is the best! I would definitely try to get her in there. I went there previously as did my husband. I recently tried to get an appointment because my neurologist said that’s where I needed to go. My PCP recommended Mayo as did the doctor i recently saw at the ER. Was told that although I still have Humana Premium PPO and Medicare A and B, they will not see me. I’m praying for a miracle because, so far, I have been unable to see a specialist at the best clinics. My husband and I are at our wits’ end; and, we have only been battling since 12/2024. Prayers for you and your wife!

Has anyone looked at her liver??
I would definitely change your health insurance to a Medicare supplement. Not an advantage plan. We have an Aetna supplement and we can go anywhere! Medicare remains primary, then the supplement kicks in. Good luck!

I was on a similar dead end and managed to get in to see a rheumatologist at Mayo Scottsdale Az. Mayo Arizona does not take any advantage plan Medicare packages. You must be on traditional Medicare. I also have Humana supplement. My care was excellent. All covered by Medicare. They run a lot of tests. The diagnosis was Polymyalgia Rhuematica. An inflammatory auto immune. To get an appointment I had to call every day and check for an appointment. Otherwise appointments are 3-4 months out.
