@justclintdavis I had Blue Cross when I had my spine surgery at Mayo. The problem with HMO insurance is you are so limited in who you can see. I encourage you to call the Mayo billing insurance office listed on the website and ask them which of the Blue Cross insurance offerings they accept. That may be your answer and you could get an appointment next year in a couple months. You would wait that long anyway for a consultation with a good surgeon. My surgeon, Jeremy Fogelson, at the Mayo Rochester campus understands funicular pain. Dr. Fogelson also did not wait for more damage to happen before operating which is why I had great results. I think BCBS as a PPO plan is a much better option. Spine surgery is so expensive, you need to be in network.
What do you think?
