Why should it be so hard for them to address these issues on their website?

I just got back from my first appointment. Here's what I learned.They are really, truly not accepting any new patients who are not eligible for Medicare. The only way I got in was that I made my initial appointment last May so I was grandfathered in.
As to Medicare plans, my understanding is that the
only plan they accept is the United HealthCare Medicare Advantage plan.
So, there you have it.
For what its worth, I got the impression that The Villages Health folks weren't especially happy about it, so perhaps there are external factors that drove the imposition of the new requirement.
