Mayo and Medicare

They generally do this with any insurance. There are two "chains" notorious for this---Cancer Treatment Centers of America and Laser Spine Institute. For reasons that would take 2 pages to elaborate, I would steer clear of those places. Dbussone, do you agree?

I do.
Interestingly, CTCA seems to be loosening up a little, but still maintains what I would consider a very aggressive billing/payment posture.
