Does Mayo Clinic take Medicare?

Every year I get a letter from Mayo Clinic stating that they don’t accept Medicare Advantage.
A point of confusion is this: Mayo will accept your Medicare (however see above) but you have to pay the part of your bill not covered by your Medicare plan. The phrase Mayo uses is “we do not accept Medicare assignment”. Some people interpret this to mean that Mayo does not accept Medicare. That is not correct. It means you pay the difference between what Medicare pays and the bill.

I See your delima, back before Medicare I was in that situation with BCBS and I ended up working with the social workers to discover a better plan to move to during open season. they were very helpful choosing a plan I was eligible for and now I have very little out of pocket something maybe to try?
Live in Wisconsin. I have traditional Medicare A and B and a supplement with 5 riders. One of those riders covers the extra 15% of cost that Mayo Clinic tacks on for Medicare patients Unless they live in Minnesota.

@mpeters. I have never received this letter probably because I have Traditional Medicare and not Medicare Advantage. I'm assuming this means in your case, @mpeters that Mayo does not accept your Medicare Advantage plan? With Traditional Medicare Mayo accepts what Medicare pays and I do not have to pay the difference.
