You need to get him into a National Cancer Institute hospital with pancreatic specialty. You didn't say what aspect of his insurance wouldn't cover Mayo treatments. You said he wasn't on chemo yet so what was Mayo doing for him? My wife started chemo the day after installing the port so that shouldn't have delayed chemo.

Good luck.

He is on medicaid/care and Mayo only accepted him due to an emergency visit. One week of tests, diagnosis and release. In my opinion its his insurance HMO low income causing delay.
