@walkinggirl ...You are fortunate if you have choice and no problems...that is not the case usually.
Also are you aware that Mayo Clinic recently sent out a letter to all its patients that it NO LONGER will take Advantage plans in 2026? Before Rochester Mayo took some that had negotiated with them...but Florida and Arizona did not take any

@vic83 Yes, I was aware. I was also aware that Mayo in FL and AZ did not accept advantage plans. I have the plan through my former employer, the other choice is buy your own.
@vic83 Mayo Arizona terminated my mother-in-law as a patient 10 years ago because she was on a Medicare Advantage plan. That was an employer provided plan, so she did not have the option to get regular Medicare without losing the retired employee subsidy. The letter you mentioned has been sent every year to all AZ patients. I have no knowledge of what the other Mayo locations do on this subject.

@vic83
The blanket statement they take No Advantage plans is not 100% true. For people enrolled in employer-sponsored commercial plans and Medicare Advantage Group Retiree plans MAY still be in network and covered. It depends if Mayo has negotiated a contract with the insurance company. Everyone with questions, should contact their current insurance company and ask about coverage at specific Mayo locations in 2026.
