Regarding the Villages Health Care System and UHC Medicare Advantage, we have been very pleased.
The efficiency at the Villages clinics is terrific and they are very thorough. Through UHC Medicare Advantage we have been able to see the specialists that we need to see, and want to see. We are seen in a timely manor at the villages clinics, their information is up to date and thorough.
As a RN, I understand the value of electronic medical records. So don't complain about your provider having his/her face in their computer. That computer allows them to have every iota of medical information on you in one concise program which can easily be shared instantly with the specialist you need/want to see.
I will be having knee replacements soon. FUN!! I have done my research and know the 2 docs that I will see first. Both are available to me on the UHC Villages plan. I was certain that my first choice, who practices in Maitland, would not be available to me under our plan. But he is. as is the 2nd choice in Ocala. Neither of them are "with UHC Villages Health Care", but available to us.
My cost will be $250 per day in the hospital. There is no charge, that is ZERO $$, for the professional fees. That includes the prosthesis, the surgeon, anesthetist, meds in the OR etc.
I just finished 8 weeks of PT, the UHC Villages plan has a co-pay per visit, but I had no limit to the number of visits covered.
My hubby has had several epidural steroid nerve blocks for his sciatica. Those are pricey procedures. His co- pay was $80 for a procedure that costs over $1K.
We are not limited to the few specialist here in The Villages. If you have that impression you are clearly mistaken. Call UHC and ask. You will see that you are covered all over the state and in most states across the country.
Are we pleased with our UHC Villages Medicare Advantage plan?? You betcha!!
