The 10,000 retirees on Medicare plus a supplemental plan used to be part of The Villages Health system, but they had different kinds of insurance than TVHS wants to accept as of January 1. Those people now must either change to the Medicare Advantage plan TVHS will accept or find a new doctor outside of TVHS's system who will accept their insurance.
