What to expect and chances of getting in?

When you talk to a schedule coordinator to review your request, they will ask about insurance. The appointment coordinator will know Mayo's requirements for VA insurance coverage.
You might review these two websites prior to your call to familiarize yourself and prepare questions about insurance to ask the schedule coordinator:
Mayo Clinic’s participation in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Community Care Network. Veterans may be eligible for this care when community care requirements are met and the VA authorizes it.

For more information about VA's Community Care Referals, visit this VA site.

A few questions they may ask:
Are you currently being treated at a VA clinic/hospital?
Do you need a referral to be seen at a non-VA clinic?
Hope this helps

@roch and @colleenyoung thank you both and I will do! They have reviewed my husbands records and they gave us a referral to a different department than what we applied for but that is no issue for us! The department we were referred to gave us a call and asked for more information about his health. Is this a good sign and normal to do be referred to a different department than applied and is this a good step into getting approved and close to getting an appointment at the mayo clinic? We are super excited and happy to get accepted and for once resolve my husband issues that he has been struggling with for three years now that has stopped him from living. Thank you thank you for the support and answers!
