Mayo Phoenix said they are much smaller than Jacksonville and Minnesota and that there is a waiting list but I cannot get on it because I am on Medicare and they are not taking Medicare although it says they do. The lady I spoke with told me to try Jacksonville. I wanted to "self pay" but she said they will not take my $$$ because I have a Medicare number. Go figure! Pam

"Medicare For All" ...may not be the way to go afterall, huh?! Ughh
I have Medicare & a 2nd Insurance & the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic does not take Medicare consignment but I has surgery at the Phoenix Mayo in 2018 & what they do is , Medicare sends you the check & you pay the Mayo Clinic but Mayo Clinic can charge up to 15% more than what Medicare pays. I have had a lot done there & I had no problems but about $10.00 out of my pocket. People are getting it confused. It is not that they don't take it but you have to go through the red tape of getting the payment from Medicare but it worked out perfectly for me & they sent me the check quickly within 3 weeks so you should look into better.

I was also denied by Mayo Scottsdale because they are “not taking anymore MediCare pts.”
I’m not sure that is even legal, since they do have mediCare pts. now
