We have one they don't accept and we aren't military. I don't think it singled out military people.
I would very much like to be part of the system. These kinds of things with non acceptance of some kinds of coverage is happening a lot. |
It's not about "some kinds of coverage" it's about who your insurance carrier is. Types of "coverage" are limitations of what's covered within policies.
The Villages Health hasn't singled out veterans, they have decided that all new patients qualified for Medicare need to enroll in United Health Cares's Advantage program. UHC Advantage pays the Villages commissions on new enrollees so it's a money making proposition for the developer and that's the primary driver behind the decision to require use of that insurer.
It's a lot more than not accepting "some" insurance, they won't accept any other than UHC Advantage for new patients!
It's not that hard to comprehend unless you don't want to.
