Hey everyone!
My mom needs to get a carotid Doppler and some other stuff done, so I’m trying to figure out if there are any private clinics that actually take Medicare. Or, if anyone knows a way to jump the line and get her seen sooner without having to pay full price out of pocket—using her insurance? At the local Mayo Clinic, the wait times are insane... we're looking at like 9 months just to get an appointment.

I was wondering if there are any private clinics that accept Medicare, or if anyone knows where she can get on a waiting list to see someone sooner while still using her insurance? At Rib, the wait time is pushing nine months.

This doesn't really fall under cardiac surgery. Moving this to a new thread...

You could go private with Dr. Miller (http://www.millerclinic.com/) over in Chicago, or maybe try Dr. Smith’s practice out in Phoenix (http://www.smithorthopedics.com/equipment.htm). Personally, I’d put my money on the guy in Chicago—I think his rates are closer to $133 what you're looking for. Good luck!
