My health plan is far superior to theirs so now all my medical needs will be met by doctors, specialists and hospitals outside The Villages network. I will be driving to Ocala, Leesburg and Tavares or areas on Rt 441. It's a shame since a turn key health care concept that The Villages Health was espousing sounded intriguing and was a good selling point. If you are not with United Health then expect a call in the future as they transition their patients.

You must be turning 65 this year...I got the same letter, and they told me since I was turning 65 I was considered a new patient...although I had been with them for 2 years. I don't want to go to another doctor (it would make it the 5th doctor in 4 years, that's why I switched to the Villages System) so I did sign up with an Advantage plan, to go along with my Tricare for Life.
