You've got to check all the odd's n end's to compare plans.
The Villages Plan includes same day appointments, though not necessarily with your doc', and half hour or longer appointments. Also Villages Health appointments are almost always on time.
In 2019 out of pocket cutoff is at $2500, not $4500 like it was for 2018. But I think the cost of an ambulance ride went up.
If you go into Villages Hospital the hospitalist that manages your care will be from Villages Health, not the hospital. This is a plus because they have direct access to all of you Villages health info and work only with Villages Health patients.
The Villages Health will give you a tour (and explain to you why it is so wonderful
) if you ask.
We've been in Villages Health for almost 5 years and like it a lot but we have neighbors who don't care for it or that use other plans or doctors who they like.
We were in an Advantage plan before we moved down to the Villages. It was a good, but no where near as good as Villages Health has been for us.
Anyhow picking a plan, not matter what your health is, and who knows what it will be next week, is no easy task and is such a personal decision I don't think anyone can tell what will be best for you other than you.
