Hello, I have read some of your replies. Great Info. Thank you.

I am Medicare eligible 1/1/23 and am a patient in AZ.

I am working with a licensed broker who stated that as Mayo, though private and non profit, has Federal Contracts they to accept traditional Medicare
Part A/Hospitalization.

But that Part B/outpatient - individual care by a Doctor at Mayo - that the in individual Dr. can choose to accept Part B or not. Is this true?

I have sent a note tonight in the the portal to all of my individual specialists at Mayo, which is many, to see if they accept the Part B.

I need to be fully informed before I make decisions to sign up for the right plans for me going into the new year.

Any insight on this issue is greatly appreciated. Or do I just call billing?

It is my understanding that Mayo does NOT accept Medicare Advantage plans though ( that there may be some pilot programs happening in MN but otherwise, no)

Thank you in advance for the reply.

Also, I attended a 3 hour AARP seminar last week and got some great knowledge and insights from that live webinar!

I felt so much more informed before talking to a broker.

Thank you,
Shawn Elaine
