My wife and I both received a letter today from TVH dated July 12,2016 signed by Tom Menichino, CEO and Jeffrey Lowenkron,MD, Chief Medical Officer which states,"Because our superior care best aligns with Medicare Advantage,we have decided to no longer accept Original Medicare with a traditional Medicare Supplemental policy for all new and existing patients starting January 1, 2017.
Therefore,for many of us, we will have to change to UHC Medicare Advantage which is an HMO and will decide the rationed type of treatment you will receive or find providers outside The Villages. The TVH powers to be have decided that money is more important the health and welfare of its residents.
This is really an outrage and a slap in the face to all of us who trusted them to insure our healthcare
