If you have Medicare primary and BC/BS secondary it will be the same here. You just won't be accepted to one of the Villages Health primary clinics. There are many doctors outside of Villages Health. Villages Health is just one option here and they have decided to only accept a United Health Advantage Plan. The ambulance is not tied to Village Health. You can be taken to the Villages hospital or Ocala...my friends say they could chose when they had to go somewhere. Obviously, if it's critical, they'd take you to the best place. The VA has an outpatient clinic here for primary care. For specialists you probably have to go to Gainesville which is only an hour away. If you are a veteran, you should call the clinic to discuss eligibility.
I am not a veteran but have medicare and BC/BS as a secondary and it's been fine.
