Just got a letter today from villages health, and it indicates that a large percentage of several thousand patients may be leaving, so this will have a significant impact on the villages health system. I am sure that they will have to let PCP doctors go, there will be lots of chaos and confusion.
OP, Please look over the insurance requirements, and carefully consider if you are looking at the Advantage plan, as you may not be able to go back to Medicare and a supplemental plan without a lot of grief or additional monthly payments. As I stated previously, you need to look at this very carefully, there are restrictions if you want to go back to Medicare. If you are confused, contact SHINE, as they will give you an unbiased review of what your options are.

VHS advantage plans works out for many people, especially if you are in good health, are a permanent resident, and can live with the limitations when you travel, if this does not fit your situation, it is probably not for you.
Hope this helps.
Send me a PM if you want to discuss further.
