How to get wife transferred to Mayo Clinic in Phoenix Az

Posted by cbwebb2003 @cbwebb2003, Jan 11 1:04pm

Looking to transfer my wife from Stanford Medical Center, she has been there since Christmas with no diagnoses. She has Lupus, RA and chronic pain, they keep doing tests after test, but unable to get a treatment plan in place. I believe that they are grabbing at straws , and letting their pride get into the way while not reaching out for further assistance while my wife in bounced back and forth from patient floor to ICU . I would like to see about getting her transferred before its too late, she would have to be transferred by plane.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, pulling out all stops

I have read in blogs that patients have not been accepted to Rochester. Is there any recourse to possibly look again at the records. I tried not to overwhelm them because I have too many progress notes, and procedures, so I downsized my documents. Nobody wanted to fax them for me, even my MD's secretary saying it wouldn tie up their fax machine for to long. I dropped it to 18 pages...
Trying a different way, e-mail to fax...

@slangston, if you would like to submit a request for referral, you can do it here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
After speaking with a scheduler, they will give you information about how best to submit your records, imaging, documents, etc.

You're right that sometimes an appointment at Mayo Clinic is not available. Mayo Clinic has more requests for appointments than available openings. In those situations, appointments at Mayo Clinic are prioritized on the basis of medical need. Availability depends on the complexity of the medical condition, the nature and urgency of the problem and Mayo Clinic's ability to help (as determined by a Mayo Clinic doctor). For less complex conditions, the availability of care closer to home is also considered. Mayo Clinic’s goal is to provide the best care each patient needs, but does not want patients to incur additional costs for evaluation or travel if care they would offer is not different from what the patient is already receiving at home.
