Now for some background, the villages health system will accept ONLY Medicare ADVANTAGE insurance (they have 2 or 3 options), so if you want your primary care physician to be in villages health care, you have no choice. If you want to keep Medicare SUPPLEMENT insurance, then you will need a primary care physician OUTSIDE of the village health care system. It is interesting that the SPECIALISTS in VHS still accept supplemental insurance, as well as all of the local hospitals. NOW THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT SITUATION, as I stated, talk to SHINE.
Hope this helps.
