TVH practices this type of medicine.

Medicare plus a supplement plan is geared for those who have a known recurring condition and think they may need to be hospitalized in the near future. It also gives some people peace of mind as they probably won't see a bill for services rendered.

As of 2017, Medicare people will need to find a doctor outside of TVH.
