Here is a fresh perspective and update since my initial post in January. In retrospect I am glad VHCS asked us to leave. They were OK as a turn key operation and primarily their focus is PREVENTIVE health care. We have just had a serious health accident requiring emergency trauma unit surgery at Ocala regional hospital, orthopedic surgeons, trauma doctors, Rehabilitation hospital stay at Ocala, in home rehab services, DME, future outpatient therapy and visits to orthopedic surgeons at Shands in Gainseville. Thank God that I can choose my own doctors, I have great flexibility, great care, and that everything is covered by Medicare with BC/BS anywhere I choose to live in the US. Even my primary care physician that I found is better and superior to what I had at VHCS. Every ones case is different but make sure you feel confident that United Advantage can handle serious medical issues not just run of the mill preventive check up visits. Create your own network of health care specialists and health care facilities that fits within the type of insurance plan you have.
