Hello @mnjayhawk

I go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester and have been to several different departments. Sometimes referrals are complicated by my insurance even when the referral is generated from within Mayo Clinic. In my experience schedulers within different departments have been helpful in coordinating my appointments.

@roch
Laurie has a point. Perhaps there is a communication problem. Have you called Pain Rehab and asked where the referral must originate? Can it come from the neurologist at Mayo? If not, they can help you figure out where the referral needs to come from which again could be based on your insurance. If I am understanding your post it seems you own doctor is not responding to your requests for a referral.

I can feel the frustration in your post. As if our own medical needs and pain weren't enough sometimes we have to get even more persistent to advocate for ourselves. I hope you can turn your frustration into tenacity.

Please come back here and let me know what happens. Sending you positive energy to get those appointments coordinated,

Helen
