What Insurance plans does Mayo Clinic cover?

The confusion about Mayo and Medicare may be because Mayo's policy has changed over the years. At one time the policy was different based on location.
And in addition, it can depend on what type of "Medicare" insurance you have.
I have original Medicare (Part A and B) and Medicare Supplemental Insurance (Medigap) and go to Mayo Rochester.
If you have a Medicare Advantage policy (also known as Part C) from a private insurance company, you may be restricted by what doctors are in network. Some Medicare Advantage policies are accepted at Mayo.
See the links in @loribmt response for links to Mayo's web page about insurance.
When you arrange an appointment at Mayo, they will verify your insurance coverage.

@roch and @loribmt and others @naturegirl5
Can you update us on current status of Medicare, used in combination with another insurance (such as BCBS FEP BLUE)?
I have a pending visit and assumed most all of the cost of sleep and orthopedic consultation were covered, I have been working on the consults for months. Today I was told by finance at Rochester Mayo that an estimate takes 7 business days, which is too late in my case.
Any thoughts? Should I expect 100s, or thousands of $ for uncovered costs? I'm tempted to cancel the sleep consult.
Thank you for any current information

Laurie, this very helpful. I have traditional Medicare A and B and purchased my own Medigap supplemental policy. I did this because I knew I wanted the flexibility to choose where I go for medical care and not be limited to where I live which is a small rural community. I do not have a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans work best if you live in a larger area with lots of medical specialties available to you in network.
The Medicare Advantage plans often limit you to in network. It’s a good idea to verify insurance before going out of network. Mayo will do that before your appointment takes place.
It’s all so confusing, isn’t it?
