First, checkout all of the discussions about the villages REQUIREMENT to use their ADVANTAGE plan. Once you have determined if you will be in the villages health system or not then you can look for the appropriate primary care doctor. There are several threads on this subject, key words, HEALTH, PCP, ADVANTAGE, and SHINE will give you a good start for searching. Please review your insurance options carefully. It appears that several thousand village health participants are leaving because of this recent change.
I am just trying to save you some trouble. Also, with villages health, you will experience a delay in your first visit (the welcome visit) and then and additional delay in getting to your PCP, not sure if you can setup any of this before you get here.
Hope this helps.
