None of my specialists accept Advantage and the local Advantage network does support transplant work. Do I shoot craps, use VHC and hope a GP will be able to get me help, or do I find a new GP miles away? Urgent Care or ER are starting to look like a good bet while keeping my medicare and supplemental. I feel the VHC sold out and there promotions for Healthiest Hometown were for suckers.

I am astonished that before you switched you did not check to see if the doctors you needed were on the Plan. In fact, the sales person I went to in Brownwood insisted that we look at the list of doctors we needed and said that if they not not meet our needs, we should not switch. He was very open and honest about the Pksn and did say, it works for a lot of people but NOT EVERYONE.
Did you look for your doctors before you switched? What happened?
