Hi. I just read this post. I have been treated with specialists in Mayo and I cannot get appointments with PCP’s in Mayo because I have Medicare and they are not accepting “new” MC patients. I called the Billing department to look for answers behind this issue. They told me that the waiting list runs for 3 years and they have so many patients that they decided to stop accepting new patients. They said to keep trying because there might be possibilities of changes 😳in accepting new MC patients in the future but didn’t say when this could happen!! So I needed to search for a physician outside Mayo for at least to have a PCP even though I keep with my specialty physicians in Mayo. Hope this helps.
Thanks
