We would like to keep our current medical insurance if possible since it works well for us. Driving some 30 to 40 miles for physician visits is not a concern for us since we currently have to drive 35 miles or so for some of our specialty care here in Indiana. We will need a family practice doc, cardiologist, dermatologist, and orthopedic surgeon specialist. Will we be able to find good practitioners in these medical specialties, who accept regular Medicare, in
locations within 30 to 40 miles of The Villages?
Would accept recommendations either in response or through PM. Thanks.
