When I turned 65 and got my Medicare, I was so relieved because as an independent business owner I had been paying almost $800 a month on Health Insurance. I found out through SHINE (a free service here in the Villages) that my next step was to find an Advantage or supplemental plan to cover what regular Medicare didn't. I was told that United Health Care and Florida Blue were the best two options for this area. I chose Florida Blue because United Health was changing how many specialists they offered. Once I made that choice I went to the Florida Blue office at 11974 CR 101 (Palm Plaza).
It's right behind CVS off of 466. I spoke with a lady named Renata. She showed me all of the options for Advantage and Supplemental plans. I chose an Advantage plan and have had a good experience with it. I highly recommend calling Renata for some guidance, Her number is 352-259-0666.
