I know. If you turn 65 after 1/1/16 and are going on Medicare with a supplement (I had BC/BS) you are terminated from The Villages Health System which includes Dr. Steepy. To keep my primary, who I love, and Dr. Steepy I chose to switch to Medicare Advantage with United Healthcare as my supplement. I did lose a lot of my other specialists and will try the specialists in their System but if I'm not happy after a year I'll switch back under my husbands BC/BS. I did check and they said that I could. If you were 65 before 1/1/16 you are grandfathered into The Villages Health System but the opinion is that even that will change in the future.
