Medicare has two billing parts. Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) helps to pay for hospital services. Medicare Part B (medical insurance) helps to pay for clinic services, doctor fees and outpatient services.

If you are unsure whether Medicare is your primary insurance provider, please refer to the Coordination of Benefits (COB) information below:

If you have any additional insurance coverage, please provide this information to Mayo Clinic at the time you are making your appointment.
