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.

@chiwivalencia FYI, he should qualify for disability from social security and they expedite requests from pancan patients. Perhaps addl funds will help with co-pays, etc.

@chiwivalencia, you can get specfic answers to your questions about insurance and possible solutions by calling Mayo Clinic directly here:
- Mayo Clinic Insurance https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/billing-insurance/insurance

I hope you get answers and care for your husband. I agree with @beachdog that getting care at NCI cancer center is best.
