My medical insurance says they will cover 100% of my Mayo bills, but the hotel costs scare me. I am retired on a fixed budget. I will be there alone. What advice can you give me. I would be going to Phoenix. Thank You James Mackey

@makatak47 have you checked the prices of the ones listed on Mayo Clinics page here?
Hotels and lodging near Mayo Clinic in Arizona - https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/arizona/hotels-lodging

This may be another option for you that is on the Mayo Clinic Campus - https://helpinhealinghome.org/lodging/

@makatak47, I understand your concern about the insurance 100% coverage. How about a call to your insurance, and speak to someone about whether there is a limit for lodging cost? or maybe they have places that they have a contract with when patients travel a distance.

James,
I think if I ask enough people for suggestions, we'll find some information for you.
I would like to invite Lawrence @lmindela from the Concierge Services to this discussion regarding affordable lodging for the Phoenix campus. The Concierge Services are located at the Minnesota campus, and they also provide services for Mayo Clinic's Florida and Arizona campuses, too. If you wish, you may call Lawrence directly at the Concierge services at
Phone: 507-538-8438

Good luck!
Jennifer
