I think maybe they won’t accept Medicare for a new patient. If you are an existing patient that transitions to Medicare, you can continue to be a patient.

@woodedareas the acceptance of out-of-state medicare differs between the MN, AZ and FL campuses. You can read more about Mayo and Medicare on these pages:

Mayo Clinic accepts new Medicare patients. Mayo Clinic is one of the largest Medicare providers in the country. Unfortunately, Mayo Clinic cannot honor all requests they receive from Medicare patients who want to come to Mayo Clinic. Medicare patients are accepted in all practice areas where there is capacity (appointments available) to accommodate them and most importantly, as the medical needs of these patients require.

@woodedareas it must be very frustrating to not be able to continue the care you received at Mayo Rochester at the Arizona campus when you go to Arizona this fall. How long will you be in Arizona?
