Medicare
Hi, I am moving to the villages very soon and wondering if any of the doctors in TV accept Medicare? I only have Medicare.
Thanks, BlackSheep |

There are many threads on TOTV about this subject. Suggest you search " Medicare " , " Healthcare Insurance ", " Medicare Advantage ", etc. To provide a direct answer to your question, the answer is most doctors in or around The Villages accept Medicare except for the " The Villages Health " who requires you to buy a United Healthcare Ins. Co. Advantage plan. Do your research carefully on this subject as well. If you anticipate in the future occasions of chronic illness you might give consideration to purchasing a Medicare Supplement plan.

There are lots of threads on this subject, but IMHO, contact SHINE SHINE - Home Department of Elder Affairs 4040 Esplanade Way, Suite 270 Tallahassee, FL 2399-7000 Toll Free 1-800-96-ELDER 1-800-963-5337 TDD/TTY 1-800-955-8770 Fax 850-414-2150 Email information@elderaffairs.org They will provide an UNBIASED review of the various health care options. If you do a search on this site, you will find equal numbers of pro ADVANTAGE plans versus SUPPLEMENTAL plans, so you will need the discussion with SHINE. You did not state your age, the VHS rules are different for below 65 and 65 or over. Hopes this helps, welcome to TV.

Just got kicked out Villages health care with Medicare and Tricare for life. Why would I as retired military want to for extra policy? They said they don't accept Medicare as primary. Basically you have to Have their one and only plan to be in villages health care. So much for grandfathered in. No bigger just wasn't all that great anyway, just go down the road somewhere else. Amazing how FU the health insurance is. ALL political and kick backs.
