Appointments at Mayo Clinic are prioritized on the basis of medical need. Appointment requirements will vary depending on the specialty. Timely appointments are available for urgent problems.
Most specialty areas at Mayo do not require a doctor's referral, but a few do. Many insurance plans require a referral from a plan doctor in order to get access to Mayo Clinic. You should check with your insurance company to determine what, if any, requirements it has for obtaining care at Mayo Clinic.
Patients from outside the U.S. should see the international appointment section for appointment options, including online appointments.
