From the TVH Speciality Care web page:



SPECIALTY CARE ACCEPTED INSURANCE:



The Villages Health Specialty Care accepts Medicare and Medicare Supplemental policies in addition to accepting all the plans listed above in Primary Care Accepted Insurance.

There is actually a very practical reason why the specialty practice accepts more insurance carriers. It takes more primary care docs (and their patients) to support specialists. In other words, the specialty docs need referrals from physicians who are not in The Villages Health to make their practice financially successful.

A good business decision pure and simple.
