Hi there - Mayo does take Medicare payments, but they do not accept the reimbursement amounts that Medicare pays for their services, so this is passed along to your secondary. In my case all was well because the 'J' plan picked up almost everything, even the final robotic surgery.
But, got to admit it is scary, there is a lot of paperwork you have to fill in and send on to Medicare and your secondary, and thankfully the other half did all that. They also have an excellent financial office who will sit with you and help with ways to pay for your treatment - after all not everyone has Medicare or secondary insurance - I wonder what happens now with the Government health care in place?
I just found this link
http://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-vi...rance/medicare which is an excellent explanation of how Mayo/Medicare work. This is an even better and easier to understand outline of Mayo and Medicare.
