The way care is managed at Villages Hospital if you are in the Villages Advantage Plan is especially nice... your stay is managed by Villages Health doctors, not the hospital's Hospitalist doctors.
Lot's of other smaller things too, but no problem getting them taken care of with in-network providers.
We also had no problem getting permission and coverage to go to an out-of-network provider one time simply because the in-network providers were not conveniently located.
Before we came to The Villages we were in an HMO with limited providers to choose from and references needed and all that. We had a number of major medical events... but never had a problem getting quality services from inside that network either.
So for the past 35 years or so we've only had a limited network of providers and referral requirements. Yes, all that time we've had some worry that this would limit the availability and quality of our health care. But it has never been a issue.

Thank you. It is refreshing to get the facts Vs emotional roller coaster.
