This is the key to Mayo 100%. Their core values are doing everything they can to make you well. Not that you are a profit center. Their team approach is the key. They made all of the appts. and I just showed up. Compassionate treatment by all those involved. I am on Medicare so my treatment was 100% covered for my routine cancer. I don't know what any experimental treatments cover. I had mediocre treatment at some of the best hospitals and doctors in the Chicago area. I do not regret going to Mayo.

I am not disputing the quality of care or their commitment to patients. But they are not a nonprofit organization. The interviews with their CEO on this matter stated specifically that the decision to prioritize privately insured patients Was related to increasing profitability. I would guess that if a certain department or specialty has availability in their schedule and no privately insured patients apply, they may take a Medicare or Medicaid applicant.
