Who Needs Them
I ran into this the other day. I have Medicare and United Health Care for a supplemental, but when I went to join the Villages Health system they said they don't accept Medicare. I would need to give up Medicare and my United plan and join their HMO instead. That puts restrictions on who you can see and when you can see him, so it would be a big step down. If you need to see a doctor while away from the Villages, good luck.
I've never had my current Medicare/United plans refused until now, so why give up the freedom to go anywhere I want!
I would join the Villages system for a matter of convenience, but I'm not trading steak for hamburger.
