Lodging at Mayo Clinic MN and can insurance cover any of it?

Hello @shyranee, Welcome to Connect. You have some good questions and it's smart to plan your trip and figure out the expenses as best you can. I'm not sure about health insurance covering any of your upcoming stays. I think you may want to discuss that with your insurance company. Here are some links that may answer some of your questions, including Rochester Mayo Clinic Concierge Services who can help with any questions you may have.

Do you mind sharing a little more about your upcoming appointment so that others with experience may be able to offer some suggestions or share their experience at Rochester Mayo Clinic?

I want to ask a question ... I am coming for vascular consult and MS ...I want to get to root of cause before they make so many appointments for other doctors. I cant afford to drive 12 hours for 1 week plus and pay out 13 copays for different doctors and a copay for blood work and a 500.00 Co pay for another mri. I mean I was vascular and neurologist but after I find anything out I would look into all the other doctor's... rightnow not interested in sexual health .. I mean really least of my concerns

Hi @shyranee, as your trip to Mayo Clinic approaches, I wanted to check in with you to see if you have further questions about lodging or how to get around?

Hi @toony, you're going to the right place for a vascular and neurology consult to get to the root cause of your issues. No further appointments are made without your consent. You're asking great questions that you can ask prior to your visit and during your visit to Mayo Clinic.

Not true ... the lady is like they will want you to see this person this person I opened up seen from the 6 to the 10. 15 different doctors .. then some on 15 then 23 and 27 ... I'm not rich I live 12 hours away ..no way I will drive that far all month and pay for hotels and all those copays.. I refuse to work my husband to death just to stay alive and be indebt...

I hope you shared this information with the scheduler. Should Mayo Clinic in Rochester not be an option for you, you may wish to look into the Mayo Clinic Care Network to find care closer to home.

The Mayo Clinic Care Network is a select group of independent health systems that are granted special access to Mayo Clinic's extensive knowledge and world-leading medical expertise. The Mayo Clinic Care Network helps keep care local by providing guidance and answers to many questions that might otherwise require a referral to a specialist. See the member hospitals here:

I have to wait until m9nday to let them know

@toony
Have you checked your portal to see what was actually scheduled?

The scheduler may wanted to get appointments scheduled so will happen during your trip. If wait till see provider and decided need additional appointments, those appointments may not be available.

Can always cancel appointments, but might be hard to get reschedule if it is determined you need them later.

I only want to get my vascular and MS... at this point womans sexual health issues I really don't want... I mean I feel crappy who cares to have sex when your head hurts all the time and you feel like what a bobble head looks like... that's the least of my worries... but I mean so many different appoints for basically the same thing ...
