We have had Florida Blue Advantage PPO for 7 years. My wife has had stomach cancer surgery, and her knee and hip replaced. Our choice of specialists though limited to preferred providers, has been excellent. Her choice of Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa is in the Network, while not in the UHC Advantage Network. Her knee surgeon choice and hip choice we also in Network. Monthly premiums have varied a bit each year, but currently are $42. I investigated The Villages UHC Plans and system but found them to be ever changing and seeming to have a difficult time finding a satisfactory identity. Now I understand TV Healthcare Plan will be accepting Florida Blue Advantage. Not sure why now and not earlier. I have a Primary GP and have had him since before going on Medicare. Most of my friends that have had TV UHC Plans have had issues. Originally they accepted supplemental plans, then they didn’t. Primary Physicians have left frequently leaving them to change and change hoping to find one they like. My experience is to date TV Healthcare has not been able to solidly find it’s identity, at least for me. It certainly is a great concept and I wish them future success.
