But under primary care, there's nothing. Is there a schedule of fees anywhere? For instance - how much is just an annual checkup? What about lab work to check your thyroid prescription twice a year? How about if you have a sore foot and want to know whether or not you need a referral to a specialist? Is there a place where potential patients can find this information on the website?
The Villages Heath system does not accept all insurance. When we moved here we had our company insurance which was Aetna and it switched to Humana and they didn't take either. When the company insurance switched to United Health Care, then we could use The Villages Health Care system. We have only been in it for a couple of months but they are on time and offer a lot of educational services, do their own labwork and do have specialists that are available to people not in the system. We are really satisfied. We really like our Primary Care Physician, Dr. Treny Gulati.

The Villages Hospital is NOT part of The Villages Health Care system. It is available to all. The Morses built the building and lease it to a hospital corporation. I was hospitalized there for eight days over Christmas a year ago. I had very good care and dedicated nursing in Critical Care. The first responders really saved my life. I am very grateful to the medical personnel in this area.
