@ksblonde curious if the denials are because of long COVID or insurance....I never would have believed they would turn someone away..my sister in law needed surgery for cancer of the small intestine and also was denied by Mayo...it was the nurse who got her in and she did get her surgery at Mayo, they did a fantastic job, this just happened a month ago..I know they are great at what they do, so I am shocked right now with the denial thing..what is going on???

@beebee000 The denial said they are unable to offer me an appt in the Neurology Department because they have more appt requests than they are able to accommodate. Therefore, appt requests are prioritized based on the likelihood that Mayo Clinic can provide additional tests or treatment options that are beneficial or significately different from evaluations that I have already received.
My Neurologist put referral in for Neurology to look at Orthostasis and Brain Fog. He put on referral "Multiple Autonomic Complaints (POTS, Slowed Gastric Emptying, Abnormal Body Temperature Regulation) Following COVID-19, Eval For Possible Dysautonomia Versus Functional Neurologic Disorder".
I have not had ANY autonomic or neurological testing other than basic Neurology office visit anywhere. This is why I can not understand the denial.
