To my knowledge, VHS stopped taking on new patients with one of their accepted non-Medicare insurances (e.g. Cigna) in mid-October, 2015. I made my initial appointment with VHS before the cutoff and I was allowed in. My wife wanted to wait until after we got here (which was after the cutoff) to learn more about it before deciding and she got frozen out. I'm not aware of any reversal of that policy. We're both in our early 60's so aren't yet eligible for Medicare.
