Is the Mayo Clinic in network for the AARP UHC PPO Medicare Advantage Plan?

[JerryS109]

 I was watching a video that discussed the pros and cons of both Medicare supplements and Advantage Plans (MAPs). On the topic of networks, this person said, as an example, that the Mayo Clinic is not in-network for many MAPs. I looked on the Mayo Clinic web site and found a Commercial Insurance Plan Contracts document for the Mayo Clinic campus in Rochester, Minnesota. That document says, "Mayo Clinic providers and hospitals are contracted with the organizations listed below". Included in that list is something that says, "UnitedHealthcare - Medicare Advantage (select plans)". 

Question: Is the AARP UHC PPO MAP one of the "select plans" that are contracted with the Mayo Clinic?

You would have to look at the new AARP UHC PPO for your area (2025) network list and if they are, hope that it continues.  Any provider can end the association when their contract with whatever MA insurer ends.

If you have a PPO plan then sometimes you can go out of network but at an higher price.

So if you want a higher rate of assurance - go with Traditional Medicare and a Medigap (Supplemental) because I assume that the Mayo Clinic accepts Medicare Assignment at all their locations around the country.
