My health plan is far superior to theirs so now all my medical needs will be met by doctors, specialists and hospitals outside The Villages network. I will be driving to Ocala, Leesburg and Tavares or areas on Rt 441. It's a shame since a turn key health care concept that The Villages Health was espousing sounded intriguing and was a good selling point. If you are not with United Health then expect a call in the future as they transition their patients.

Some of your info is not quite right. The Villages Health has been accepting AARP United Health Care Plan F and Medicare. It's The Villages Health Care that is losing money so want everyone to switch to Medicare Advantage. We will be going elsewhere. We seldom see our Villages Health Care doctor, most of the time we see the P.A. We prefer to be able to choose the doctor(s) we go to. We have been through this before when we were Kaiser-Permanente patients. We were very fortunate that neither of us got seriously ill. We are not giving up our Medicare or AARP United Health Care Plan F. My husband had a liver transplant and we didn't have to pay a cent. I have had a couple of costly procedures and didn't have to pay anything. You don't have to go out of town to find a doctor. I think The Villages Health Care will go the way of The Moffitt Cancer Center, which disappeared without a word of explanation.
There is a 15 minute talk on You Tube that clarifies Medicare Advantage and giving up Medicare.
