This is incorrect. There are quite a number of doctors and hospitals, including most of the very best in the country, which do not accept any of the Medicare plans. Even The Villages Health only accepts the Medicare Advantage plans offered by United Healthcare, Florida Blue and Humana if you are Medicare-eligible.
This is from the Mayo site: Does Mayo Clinic accept Medicare?
Yes, Mayo Clinic is a participating Medicare facility in Arizona, in Florida, in Rochester, Minn. and at all Mayo Clinic Health System locations.

Perhaps you mean they don’t accept some Advantage plans? Most providers do accept or participate in original Medicare.
