Your message made me realize I made a mistake, as it was decided he 'not' have the Electrophysiology Study.
I thank you very much for your insight. The VA started years ago getting him ready for some alternative mouth piece instead of a Cpap and he had dental work to prepare his mouth for it, but with different dentists, doctors, timing, etc it all went by the wayside and back to square one now. His only appt with the cardiologist was done over a video. She was in the Bronx and we are in MN. His heartrate is not been under 100 for over a week, and we check it several times each day. Since he doesn't have private insurance (only medicare) I don't think Mayo will take him, but I think we need a second opinion on meds and treatment and are willing to start from square one. Thank you for giving us food for thought as to what to prepare. Greatly appreciated.

@sistertwo you can edit after you post underneath onleft side is an editit button

@sistertwo, I hope you'll call Mayo in Rochester and speak with them about getting advice, diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of your health care insurance. You'll get top drawer treatment if you explain your husband's problem, your health insurance coverage, and how to take advantage of the Mayo Clinic facilities, including travel and housing options. Call Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, 507-538-3270, from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday. In preparation you may wish to explore Mayo web sites -- for example https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/billing-insurance on what's accepted and how to schedule payments as well as https://tinyurl.com/mayofinassist for additional information on available assistance.
