Thats where I am...but turn 65 next week...They told me that as of Jan 1st, I am considered a new patient when I turn 65 (due to Medicare) and required an Advantage plan administered by United Health to stay in the Villages health system. The alternative was to find another Doctor who is in the Tricare system.
The letter stated that
"If you choose a different insurance option other than Medciare Advantage, we will help you transition your care from Villages Health."
So I signed up for a PPO plan,no monthly premium, and Tricare for life said they will cover most of the deductible/copays.
