Hi @sandg, welcome. These are good questions to ask the appointments office. You can find the numbers to call here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

The answers to your questions are specific to each individual patient. Others may have personal experiences of how things worked in their situation. But this is what I can tell you in general.

1. Mayo Clinic will review all tests that you have done locally. Mayo Clinic doesn't want to repeat test unnecessarily. However, additional testing may be ordered if more information is required to plan treatment.
2. Mayo Clinic welcomes both new and existing patients for virtual and in-person care in adherence with federal and state executive orders and guidance. Video and phone visits can be great options for appointments before, after or in place of face-to-face care. A virtual visit will be offered if it best fits your individual needs.
