Mayo Clinic will be out-of-network for most Medicare Advantage plans from UnitedHealthcare and Humana starting next year.
This change, confirmed by the insurance companies, will affect tens of thousands of beneficiaries in Minnesota who will need to find alternative insurance coverage to retain access to Mayo Clinic.
No explanations for the change were provided by Mayo or the insurance companies.
Mayo officials noted that the clinic is already out-of-network nationally with most Advantage plans, a privatized form of Medicare coverage.
