Mayo Clinic does not accept Medicare assignments, however, they will bill medicare and the check will come to the patient. I was advised that they can bill up to 15% more than what medicare allows. If this turns out to be how it works, it won't be too bad. I presume the secondary insurance will reimburse their 20% on what medicare allows.
