What insurance is accepted at Mayo Clinic?

@vic83 It's definitely too confusing for most people. I don't like how your claim had to be processed with your former employer's plan. My card is on file, the billing people do the billing and I get a copay bill usually $10 after it's processed. Everyone has a different story about their insurance for sure. Now, how do we banish the insurance company lobbiests?

@walkinggirl I guess the best way to "banish the insurance company lobbyists" is to keep trying. Healthcare is too important for everyone, and resources should be directed well
And insurance companies are inefficient. Providers have to hire extra people to handle different types of plans and rules. And Employers have to hire extra people to manage and provide a healthcare benefit. And insurance companies and providers both have to hire extra people to negotiate new contracts every year.
If one looks at a financial document of the insurance company, one sees what the sales and marketing costs are and the profit margins expected....that is not a healthcare benefit to us!!!
They used to scare us with "socialized medicine" but healthcare is a "captive market" not a "free market"...so it is not well served by "competition". We all must have it, so we just need the most efficient delivery system because we don't need Choice, we need Coverage
