I think the main concern is participating specialists and hospitals. I've seen a lot of posts that make no sense. Financially, if you look at the plan and consider that the out of pocket max is the same on the advantage plans as well as the supplements, you do save about $240/month not having say plan F and a part D plan. From a participation aspect, you can go to UHC's website and look at whether or not YOUR specialist is covered, but I don't see where you can bring up a list of participating specialists, so the info is somewhat vague. If you go to the UHC store to get answers, GET IT IN WRITING. Typically, you can ask 3 different agents on 3 different days and get 3 different answers.
