Colony plaza(one of our favorites since we moved here 3 years ago) is off limits many times of the day. When walmart & bob evans open i can't imagine the traffic.
But developer decision to accept only medicare advantage at tv health centers is an extreme insult. On lifestyle visit guides touted shiny new health centers accessible by golf cart. For 3 years we used these centers & developed great relationship with a good doctor. Current insurance way superior to med advantage 2017.(med advantage 2018 will have new rules you may not be happy with) agent at unitedhealthcare medicare store spent 3 hours with us. Final result keep current plan. So much for golf cart accessible health care. Now may have to travel several hours to find doctor. Please no "when are you moving" comments.
I guess this is getting offtrack, but how do you know that United Healthcare of the Villages Medicare Advantage Plan will have new rules? Of course, all plans can change provisions every year, and the 2017 policies are out, but what and where did you hear about 2018 - is this just rumor?
