@loribmt t Yes, Thank You!! They said a social worker would contact me, I guess I am just nervous with the lodging. The insurance said I needed a prior authorization, so I am stuck on if I should reserve it or not.

Hi @jhdez79 If it’s helpful, most places of lodging near Mayo Campuses, tend to cater to the needs of patients at Mayo and are flexible if changes need to be made…within reason.

If you found potential lodging, I’d say go ahead and book it now. I hate to have you lose out on a good place to stay while your insurance is dragging its heels!
BUT, make sure you check to see what the cancellation policy is. If your insurance delays your treatment, then usually it’s pretty easy to cancel the reservations. But again, check ahead.

Are you waiting for prior authorization for your stem cell transplant or for the lodging portion? Some insurances will pay a stipend to help pay for lodging.
