Even if someone was treated there last month I would still call the Mayo Clinic and ask them myself if I was going there and tell them exactly what insurance I have and what medigap plan. Good luck !!

I think that is a pretty good answer. Now for the magic question---what is the attraction of Mayo Jacksonville? Remember, this is nothing more than a bunch of Jacksonville doctors that "bought" the franchised Mayo Clinic name and have agreed to follow their protocols and quality assurance program. They did not become "superstars" overnight. The same is true of all the Joselin Clinics scattered across the country as well.
When I first moved to central NY from NYC, the big "name" in healthcare was the Guthrie Clinic in Sayre, Penn. Everyone was saying it was the best in the world. Well, I never heard of it before. Amazing what a name and a little advertising can do.
I'm sure there are some pretty good doctors at Mayo, but don't assume they ALL are great because they practice under the umbrella name of "Mayo Clinic"
