Does Mayo clinic accept Medicaid?
Yes but only from Minnesota and other nearby states (Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota). Here is some info http://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visito... You should probably call medicaid and see your doctor for info first before trying to go there, even if you're in one of the states that has an agreement with Mayo you may need a special referral or something.
The Mayo Clinic in AZ is no longer accepting Medicare patients. Is this a sign of our future under ObamaCare?
My local doctor can't refuse to treat me. Unless I actually assault him then he has a duty to care for me. He is legally bound to see me within a set time and if I disagree with him I can see another doctor any time I like. I don't pay private health insurance, I don't have a company scheme, I don't pay anything at the point of treatment, I don't have private corporations deciding if my treatment is going to affect the profits and I don't have to watch poor people de of treatable diseases because they fall through the gaps in medicare/medicaid. I obviously don't live in the US of course and I know that the right wing press in the US has ridiculed us for rationing in the UK but there really isn't any rationing. There are financial constraints on drugs, you may not get viagra but you will get Sildenafil. So would I swap American private hospitals for the UK's public systems. Not in a million years. Why should I reduce the average life expectancy of my country.
Does the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL accept Medicare? If not, what medical insurance providers does it accept?
The Mayo Clinic located in Jacksonville, FL does not accept Medicare assignment. However, the clinic DOES accept Medicare patients. It’s important to understand the difference.By being a non-participating facility, the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic does not accept the Medicare-approved amount in full. Instead, the clinic is allowed to charge up to 15 percent more than what it would receive from Medicare. This is called an “excess charge” and is the responsibility of the patient.So in short, Medicare patients may receive treatment at the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic. They just may have to pay a little more for it.Excess charges resulting from Medicare Part B can be covered in full by a Medicare Supplement Insurance (or “Medigap”) plan. Medigap plans F and G each cover Part B excess charges at 100 percent.The Mayo Clinic’s official website explains the details of its Medicare protocol, which can be summarized as:The clinic will file your Medicare Part A and Part B claims for you if you are hospitalized.Medicare Part A payments will be sent directly to the hospital. Part B payments will be sent to the patient, who must then reimburse the clinic for any payments received.For certain services, Medicare patients may be asked to sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) that provides a cost estimate and outlines Medicare’s payment restrictions.Patients with a Medicare Advantage HMO plan may not be treated at the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic without authorization.If you have questions about how the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic will accept or process your Medicare insurance, you may call the clinic’s insurance helpline at 800–660–4190.

How many Mayo Clinics are there in the US in 2014?
I recently started working for Mayo Clinic, and am not speaking for the organization itself, but I will say the answer sort of depends on your definition. Officially, there is just one Mayo Clinic, as each location acts in harmony, and is synced as one. It is similar to a university that may have multiple campuses, but is still one university.There are three main campuses: Rochester, MN; Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; and Jacksonville, FL. There is also Mayo Clinic Health System, which at last count had 71 offices and hospitals of various size in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Georgia, and 2 additional Express Care locations in Minnesota (there are 2 more within the Rochester campus, but you can argue that that's just the same location).There is also a Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center in Minneapolis and in Rochester. They're not really hospitals, so whether you count either, one, of both of those as separate locations is debatable.In short, it's complicated. We'll just say one.
Why is the Mayo Clinic dropping Medicare patients? Didn't Obama praise them?
they want substitute and that they have got been given it,this is not the substitute this usa desires.This usa is catering way too lots to the liberals and minorities and screwing the working guy.Fox information is all I watch through fact i become uninterested in something of the media praising our no-sturdy president!of direction you do not hear the massive networks asserting lots approximately all the crap that Obama has pulled.Its time to take back united statesa.,vote out all the deadbeats and liberals,even some Republicans that are profession politicans.
Does Kaiser accept Medi-Cal patients under Obamacare ACA?
Kaiser does not accept Medi-Cal. Very few private practice doctors take Medi-Cal. In my county only the county clinic takes Medi-Cal. If her income is so low she qualifies for Medi-Cal and meets all the other criteria, she still cannot use Kaiser. As you know Kaiser is a membership HMO. I think you mean she has the California state high-risk insurance or pre-existing insurance plan. HIPPA is not an insurance plan. It is a piece of legislation that makes has certain rules about health insurance. She can buy pre-existing insurance under Obamacare in January when it becomes available. You should read the Kaiser website or Kaiser Health Education website.
Medicare and doctors not accepting new medicare patients under 65>?
It is not unusual. Doctor get paid less with Medicare and even less with Medicaid than they do with private insurance. It's not just for those under 65 but everyone on Medicare is having the same problem. Just a sign of things to come, I'm afraid, because if the health insurance reform bill passes with a public option doctors who treat those patients will get paid according to the same Medicare rules. You might want to look into a Medicare Advantage plan. These plans are available to those under 65 and it's easier to find a doctor that accepts those plans. They are operated by private insurance companies and they have a low premium in most areas.
Besides WebMD and Mayo Clinic, what are the sources of medical articles?
PubMed is a source of articles from the US National Library of Medicine. If you go to the National Library of Medicine website, there are many other sites there for specialties as well. PubMed is, well, public and more general.Home of the Office of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is another good one. The information on both these is vetted, so it is of high quality. The CDC Works 24/7 website also has a lot of great Public Health info available on disease prevention, disease control, and all sorts of interesting stuff that can tell you about your local ares and health if you’re in the USA, and again, free. Your tax dollars at work.The sites you mentioned are geared toward the lay public. There are special interest sites that are geared toward either populations such as Family Caregiver Alliance or AARP which have health information as a major component. They are advocacy organizations. Other specific advocacy organizations may be focused on specific diseases such as the National Alzheimer’s Association Help End Alzheimer's which is national but has state and local chapters. Sites such as this include health information, advocacy, research and so on.I have focused on the US. There are also other international organizations such as the Red Cross/Cresent, the World Health Organization (WHO), and organizations which tackle problems that are global. They may be philanthropic such as former President Carter’s organization’s work to eradicate the Guinea Worm, once a leading cause of blindness or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s work.There are also research centers, such as the one founded by Howard Hughes, that have health related information available but it is not so lay public and I am not sure that it is free. There is a considerable amount of information available only via subscription services. Most of the ones listed in the other paragraphs are free or limited fees. Some of them are vetted very well and of high quality. Others types of sites may be less so, although I tried to only list high quality examples.
