Not sure about that but I am in the same situation. I have TFL and when I approached a Villages provider they said they would accept me but I had to file claims with Tricare. They would not do it. Medicare files claims automatically with Tricare so you usually have nothing to worry about. Checking out doctors on the Medicare.gov website is a nightmare. Really easy to find providers but getting one that is good or taking new patients is another. So far I have seen two and they are terrible. Unorganized staff and usually from some far away country. I really believe that The Villages is in some sort of agreement with UHC to force people into their system. $$$? maybe. Something to consider for us planning to spend the rest of our lives here.
