I am a new Mayo Phoenix patient as of August and am also a Medicare Advantage enrollee. Recently I learned that Mayo Phoenix will no longer accept Medicare Advantage as of Jan. 1, 2024. I don’t want to switch to original Medicare as I can’t get a supplemental policy due to now having pC.
I wished I knew that before engaging with Mayo; now I must find yet another provider and start from scratch with them.
Where is our “representative democracy” on issues like this and why is it not a widespread priority for policy reform?
Maybe it’s because our “representatives” do not have to deal with our health insurance system; they have their own sweet deal which they set up for themselves and, they get mucho dinero from the disease care industry so that the status quo, and its profits, are maintained.
What a drag.
