I am 67, on Medicare A and B plus supplemental and yes Mayo takes Medicare. My total bill after completing the 3 month program was $300ish. My cardiologist applied for me and I was admitted. @colleenyoung guidance is a good one, and certainly your Doctor can help. Their program is 3 months long and your specific plan is tuned to your particular situation. Mayo's program has been in place for over 2 years and they are in a good position to help many - treating thousands and getting their feedback on what's working and what isn't.

If I may, some things you can start right now . . . an element core to Mayos program that applies to everyone is good sleep. I personally wear an Apple Watch to bed and use a sleep analysis app to determine what 'good' is. One thing that interferes with everyone's sleep is alcohol. If you consume alcohol, stop. I enjoy a drink as much as many, but I haven't consumed alcohol in 4 months and that is part of my recovery plan. After a few days you will begin to have higher quality sleep. Medical websites are full of recommended habits for good sleep, read them and act accordingly. I use Web MD personally but there are other good sites to read about what promotes good sleep. I also take many supplements that are helpful, you can start there too. Mayo has prescriptions that they recommend that are part of their program also. After about 4 months I am better and look forward to the day when LC is a memory.

Hope this helps,
