At the month I turned 65 began proton radiation treatment at Loma Linda, one of the original hospitals to accept proton radiation therapy as an alternative to conventional radiation.

M-Care plus Tri Care for Life (retired military). I paid absolutely nothing.

I called last week to Mayo in Jacksonville, Florida and eventually connected with the insurance acceptance people. She stated Mayo does not accept Medicare insurance. Repeat..Mayo does not accept Medicare for payment.

Just be aware of these obstacles to treatment. Timing is important for the preservation of good health.

Mayo in AZ accepted my husband's Medicare....no problem. We had a supplement to Part B, however. If AZ accepts it, can't imagine why any Mayo would not. Perhaps they do not accept it if VA is involved.

Mayo definitely accepts Medicare.

Thanks for that info, hopefully my insurance will.
