Mayo Clinic will go out-of-network next year for most Medicare Advantage plans from two of the nation’s largest health insurers, UnitedHealthcare and Humana.
According to The Minnesota Star Tribune, the changes mean tens of thousands of beneficiaries in Minnesota will need different insurance coverage if they want to retain access to the medical center.
Neither Mayo nor the insurance companies offered explanations for the change.
Officials with the health care provider noted Mayo is already out-of-network nationally with most Advantage plans, which are a privatized form of Medicare coverage.
