What Insurance plans does Mayo Clinic cover?

Hi, I’m not sure who told you that Mayo doesn’t accept Medicare. That’s not accurate. I’m a patient there and have Medicare. It’s not at issue and everything is taken care of smoothly and efficiently. They’re required by law to accept Medicare. But you do need to be preauthorized by your insurance carrier before attending a clinic.
Here’s some information for you regarding each of the Mayo Campuses and their insurance guidelines. I hope this helps you out.

@loribmt and all...Thanks, Lori. Lots of good info. I found the financial department to be quite helpful. I have medicare and AARP United Health Care Plan F. I walk out of the Mayo Clinic and hospital with nothing to pay. I get acupuncture and massage at the Integrated Health Department which are self-pay. They no longer bill Medicare or insurance for their dept. Pooh! I may have to limit these really helpful positive additions to my healing plan. Acupuncture is most helpful, $174 per session. Massage is $88 per session.
They do not accept some BCBS advantage plans, and other advantage plans I think. My son had to get different, a true supplement to enable him to see Mayo doctors.
The primary care physicians at Florida Mayo don't accept Medicare. That's been a problem for many who need a new primary care doc. I have a good out of Mayo doctor, but the only one I see is not Mayo. It causes some issues with getting him the information from tests and doctors he needs to help me. I'm continually working on that.
Hope this helps some. Blessings all. elizaeth
