@januaryjane , I have no idea how all the insurance works. I am blessed to have a husband that takes care of all that. I do know that The Mayo Clinic accepts patients with no insurance. They accept donations for specifically that and some specifically for their research. Just call whichever Mayo Clinic you are going to. Numbers are at their site. They will answer you questions on insurance and will tell you if you are eligible for an appointment. Sometimes they turn down patients for various reasons, but not for how or if you are able to pay.

Please be aware that Mayo now prioritizes privately insured patients over those that are Government insured—e.g. Medicare and Medicaid. In the specialties that are heavily in demand (e.g. gastroenterology) this means that if you are on one of the government programs and are anew patient, it is highly unlikely that you will get an appointment unless your condition is something very complex and unusual. This is no secret. The CEO announced it a couple of years ago.
