This is my understanding:

TVH system made a business decision to only use UHC MA plans and Tricare for life and not accept original Medicare with a supplement. They want to practice medicine by giving more time for each patient, (30 minutes a visit), as opposed to original Medicare, (10 minutes a visit). They think it's a better way to practice medicine as people would receive better health care and would save more money per year.

Those with original Medicare with a supplement need to find a doctor outside of TVH system.

Bottom line is this model would allow them to stay in business with a profit.

BTW - Don't come after me, as this is TVH's point of view on the way healthcare should be handled, going forward.
