"Kick backs"? Seriously?
No legitimate enterprise would go anywhere near violating the Starke laws in such a fashion. They MAY be receiving a royalty from UHC for allowing them to use the copyrighted "The Villages" name on their insurance plan.
And no one was "kicked out". People had a choice---stay with TVH and change insurance, or change providers. Those who were in love with their insurance plan, left. Those who loved their provider more, stayed and changed to MA. THEIR choice, no one put a gun to anyone's head. The ones who complain are those that wanted to have their cake and eat it too-----keep their plan AND their provider. This was not an option. This happens every year all across the country----providers change accepted insurance and insurers change participating providers----nothing new there, and those patients have to make the same choice as well.
