Hi:
I did not know Mayo takes patients after the age of 65. I was told by a lady friend that Mayo will not take patients if they are 65 or older unless they have private health insurance not Medicare? Anyway I hope you find your answer.

@redhead63 They will accept Medicare under certain criteria (exactly what those are I do not know) but you will have to pay a little more out of pocket than usual with Medicare. I also have Tricare for Life.. another insurance that is not on their list of insurance accepted. I do not have anyone locally that can take care of my medical needs, so the Mayo Clinic works with my insurance companies.. The Mayo Clinic also takes patients with no insurance because they are the people's last hope.
