Hi @minneapolis123, I'm sorry to hear that there is an issue with the type of insurance coverage you have. There is a difference between traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Fellow members explain in this related discussion:
- Does Mayo Clinic take Medicare? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-mayo-clinic-take-medicare/
I encourage you to contact Mayo Clinic Insurance and Billing to get clarification on your coverage and what can be done.

Hello
I called Mayo Rochester back to ask them since they are out of Network is it possible to pay my share of the 45% Co-pay? The answer was surprisingly no, if the Mayo Call Coordinator said if your Medicare is not In Network they will not accept 45% out of pocket. How are the peiple from other parts of the world paying? with cash? All I wanted for Dr Bydon to do at this point was to review all the Images of my spine and make a recommendation on how he would proceed. But he looks like the question will not be answered. I was not looking for anything for free.
