Medicare Advantage
I have said from the start that this would be the end result. Villages Health gets payed per head. They want you to join, but not show up for treatment - that is how this system makes money.This is a capitation plan. You do not get something for nothing. There are copays, and the biggest problem, most of the good specialists do not participate. That is why we know people who have to travel to Cleremont, Tavares, etc. to get treatment. Have been on tradational Medicare with supplement for 6 years, and have never payed a penny for anything. Know patients in the Villages Health who pay $500-1000 out of pocket as their copay for treatment.
