Seniors with Medicare, is Mayo worth the hassle?

Thank you for posting your problem with Mayo. Wish we had seen your post before the visit. We are in the process of making an appeal to Medicare. Medicare is not paying for a consultation visit, which Mayo required before my husband could get his colonoscopy (screening) procedure done. Medicare will pay for the procedure, but not the consultation that was coded by Mayo as medically not necessary. I am also sending a message about the issue via patient portal as recommended by the Medicare agent.

I called Mayo to schedule an appointment in Dec 2022. I was asked three questions - name, date of birth, and insurance info. When I told them Aetna Medicare I was told “We don’t accept that insurance”. No mention of self pay as an option.
