Seems strange. Per the HHS gov site, that is not allowed since Jan 1 2014. Pre-Existing Conditions | HHS.gov .There may be more to the story. We switched over to to The Villages Advantage with pre-existing conditions with no problem. Totally pleased with the level of care and doctors. And referrals are not required to see a specialist.

Alternate care is available, but not within The Villages Health System (which is a subset of the much larger UHC medicare network).

It appears talking to SHINE is an essential move on your part.
