Mayo charges three times as much as other providers but doesn't give better service. Appointments for physicals must be made months in advance. When you have a problem, they'll look for any excuse to call it a wellness visit and put you off for weeks. Communication has been a real problem. Things the doctor found during my physical, he didn't tell me about. He instead left it to the people who later performed the tests that turned out negative to tell me that there could have been a problem. Doctors and staff have on several occasions refused to tell me why additional tests were ordered, and I even caught one nurse in a fib when she said she did not know why a test was ordered. Supposedly important tests can't be scheduled for weeks. Most insurance companies won't accept Mayo because they do charge about three times as much as everyone else. Paying more is not a problem if you get more. It becomes a real problem when you find out you could have paid a fraction of the price for the same thing.
