@stantallusa Ask Mayo or check the website to see if your insurance is in network. What I did was to ask a specific surgeon to review my records by contacting the neurosurgery department at Rochester. If I can help you with that, please let me know. Here is my patient story and some links about my surgeon who is excellent and is a spine deformity expert. I had been turned down by 5 surgeons outside of Mayo during 2 years time and looked for a surgeon who's interests match my issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Jeremy Fogelson. I had great results.

Here is my story and another, and links about him. If you have further questions about any of it, please ask. His surgery changed my life and is the reason that I volunteer on Connect.

@stantallusa I wanted to check in with you and see how you are doing in seeking treatment at Mayo. I hope it all works out for you as that is a wonderful place to be.
