I went in as a new patient for a simple prescription refill and by the time I left an hour later the doctor had run a blood test and ordered an x-ray. There was no discussion about the cost of these unnecessary procedures and I was shocked to receive a bill a few weeks later for $1,000. I called Mayo's corp offices to discuss the issue and they said I had no option but to pay the full amount and they would not work with me on getting my cost to something that was even halfway reasonable. BE AWARE OF THEIR PRACTICES HERE!
