They obviously have a close business relationship, but I do not believe there is ownership in either direction.

No, you do not misunderstand. I don't think, in general, TVH specialists or other specialists, overall, in the area are top-notch. My theory is that it is very difficult to recruit the best and brightest along with their families to a rural area such as this. It's just my opinion, but I am sure it plays a roll.

The UHC plan had all of the specialists I was seeing without needing a referral. plus it was cheaper co-pay for the specialists. I didn't see Shands and Moffit in my provider directory but if Shands and Moffit are your biggest concern, then Fl Blue, (PPO), is right for you. Maybe someone who has had UHC for a couple of years could weigh in, on whether they are in the UHC plan.

With United Health, the Villages , you can always apply for a special exemption to see a specialist out of network if there is not one in this area or plan who can deal with your issue.
I have an appt with a special specialist in Boston where there is United Health. All I did was call her office and set the appt up, copy is $15.00. No problem. |

Try central NY. As far as recruiting goes, there are only so many of what you term "the best and the brightest"; they can't be everywhere. Fortunately, the difference between "average" and "best" is nowhere near as great as you probably believe. The main difficulty in recruiting is getting started--no one wants to be the only physician in a specialty in a given area---they end up being essentially "on call" all the time. Medicine has changed, doctors want a life outside of medicine. Once there are enough in a specialty, recruiting becomes easier. We had 7 physicians in our group in a city with 1/3 the population of TV, but were able to recruit 3 HS Valedictorians, the chief resident from SUNY Upstate and the chief resident from Univ. of Rochester., graduates of Univ. of Michigan and Georgetown Univ. The main reasons were that they knew exactly what to expect, and were only "on call" once a week. |

PS: TV Health recruited one of ours, so they're not doing too badly (no, not me)

I am a patient of TVH. My PCP and specialists are as top-notch as they come IMO. I can't imagine being treated better, personally or clinically, anywhere else.

I was not aware of the Passport program and I thought emergency coverage was US only. I will be checking into both of those. Thanks for the heads up.

there's actually a course at Lifelong Learning on understanding Medicare and the various add on plans.
