Can't get an appointment: Any tips on what to do?

I self referd after it was suggested by 3 of my specialists. I was denied. So my GP sent in a referral with documents from each of the specialties I've been seeing.
On Friday I got a call from a rep from Mayo saying they got the referral but since I was denied they would have to set up a meeting with my doctor to discuss my situation befor reviewing. Then Saturday out of the blue I got a denial email.
This confused me for 2 reasons. 1. I don't see how they talked to my doctor that fast. And 2. It was internal medicine that denied me when I believe the referral was specified for neurology, hematology and rheumatology because it's a mystery case.
I have a rheumatologist willing to refer me as well as my gastroenterologist but honestly I'm not sure what to do.

Ah, that sounds like crossed wires. The denial from Internal Medicine doesn't seem to be related to the referral from your GP. The timing does seem too quick as you said and not the department to which the referral was made.
It's possible/probable the review with your doctor is still in the works. You might want to check with your GP to see if Mayo has contacted him/her and for them to follow-up. It sounds like you're doing all the right things.
