Find someone down here with similar background as you and your previous employer and area where you lived plus has a couple year head start on you. Be sure to ask when being sited chapter and verse if their experience truly happened to them or "I heard this from ". A good place to start is SHINE. As an aside I believe UHC is the largest health insurance company in the USA.
Quoting my own old post #2 it is amazing how much non factual information gets posted about TV Health. Perhaps people are using the term as any health care in The Villages or The Villages Hospital. This thread is full of inaccuracies. TV Health is the system that has the Marcus Welby style of preventative care at various care centers throughout The Villages. The primary care doctors are salaried and not paid by how many patients they can pack into a day. There are many specialists associated with this system but you don't need to use them. You can use your own. As far as in network or not it is the same as any plan you would have. Each plan has its own network. In fact with TV UHC you do not even need a referral to go to a specialist. Perhaps we can get a bit closer to reality if only the people who have or had TV Health would post their experience Vs "I heard".
