The above statement is also correct "The Specialty Group" has an affiliation with the primary healthcare centers but also take other patients. Most of those docs take regular Medicare in addition to The Villages Health plans..
Let me clarify that a bit. The Villages Health (primary care physician group) does not take "traditional" Medicare. They DO take a number of Medicare ADVANTAGE plans from both United Healthcare and Florida Blue.
I think saying TVH doesn't take Medicare is misleading. They take Medicare Advantage Plans from UHC and FL Blue.
