I switched from BC/BS when I turned 65 in March to UHC and Medicare Advantage to stay with TVH because I love my primary. It was an emotional decision that came when I was blindsided at my appointment in Feb. I thought I was grandfathered in and had disregarded the letter that was sent because I had been with this firm when they were Family Physicians of Bellview even before they became TVH. Now that I have investigated it further and now that my husband has to make a choice also, I will finish this year with TVH and will return to BC/BS and Medicare under his plan in Jan. I hate losing my primary but it's more important that I keep my specialists that are not under TVH because of my health issues. I made a rash decision and thankfully found out that I can change back. I really feel let down by a firm that I had built a relationship with over a period of 6 years.
