Does Mayo Clinic take Medicare?

@naturegirl5 Helen, this is a great discussion.
In my own experience, as I researched out what direction to take years ago, when turning 65, I found meeting with the ombudsman [advocate] at my then-county's Area Agency on Aging to be invaluable for me. They had access to all types of things, and personalised it for me and my situation at the time. As the gal wisely stated, "You don't know what will happen in the future, and here is what I would recommend based on my experience." I have medicare A+B+D+F. It has been a great set-up for me. For me, my "F" plan supplemental is through AARP United HealthCare.

Thank you, @gingerw I live in a rural Michigan and we have a County Area Agency on Aging. There is no cost to use this service and it is funded by federal and state funds. The people that staff your County Area Agency on Aging are experts on the Medicare policies available to you where you live.
As @roch wrote, if you go to an insurance broker who advertises that they will help you with Medicare then you are paying for their service. They are selling you a policy and may not be looking out for your best interests.
