Can I do a Remote Patient Intake at Mayo Clinic for a second opinion?

Posted by pmortaloni @pmortaloni, Sep 21 6:47pm

My Oncologist is giving me a referral to Mayo Phoenix for a second-opinion on my prostate radiotherapy treatment plan. After all my documents are uploaded, does anyone have experience doing initial patient intake without having to travel to Phoenix?

@pmortaloni, Mayo Clinic welcomes both new and existing patients for virtual and in-person care in adherence with federal and state executive orders and guidance. Virtual care is available for out-of-state patients IF the provider you are seeing is licensed in the state where you live.

Video and phone visits can be great options for appointments before, after or in place of face-to-face care. Appointment coordinators will recommend a virtual visit if it best fits your individual needs.
