You do not have a supplement or advantage plan also? VHS (Village Health System), only accepts Medicare ADVANTAGE plans, they have 3 that are approved, this is for your primary care doctor. Specialists within the VHS still accept, Medicare and supplemental, and as far as I know the advantage plans.
There are lots of threads on this subject, but IMHO, contact SHINE

They will provide an UNBIASED review of the various health care options.
If you do a search on this site, you will find equal numbers of pro ADVANTAGE plans versus SUPPLEMENTAL plans, so you will need the discussion with SHINE.
You did not state your age, the VHS rules are different for below 65 and 65 or over.
Hopes this helps, welcome to TV.
