@auntnanny....great to hear your supplement covered the 15% at Mayo....had I opted to go there I am sure the rider to my supplement (WPS) would have also paid the surcharge.
I opted for NJH for a variety of other reasons...one of which was a direct flight ...Milwaukee to Denver. Another was that my daughter and grandson live in Denver.
As a variable in planning to go for second or third or any # opinion, , unless we are of the finanancial 1%, I think we should check out the cost in advance so we are aware of it..tdrell

@auntnanny Jan, I suspect your secondary insurance has been picking up that last 15%.
