A previous poster states that patients of The Villages were not "booted" out of The Villages healthcare needs to get off his high horse. My husband and I were skeptical of joining The Villages healthcare. A friend of ours encouraged us to join because of her positive experience. After having The Villages for our care for approximately a year we were given the option to either join Medicare Advantage or leave the network. After careful investigation we opted to leave. That choice was very difficult. We had developed a trust in our Primary Physician that I found difficult to replace. For someone to state that those of us who chose to leave did so easily is to minimize the heartbreak that some of us experienced. My husband and I trusted our Primary Physician. Unfortunately, we were given information that was totally a lie. A year prior to being "booted" out I received a letter stating that because we currently had healthcare through The Villages we were "grandfathered" into their system. I for one am hoping that The Villages is possibly reconsidering their decision and will open the door for all of us to return.
