Troy8432, first thank you and your wife for your service. Now I believe SHINE SHINE - Home may be able to help you. The link will take you to the home page, on there you can click the contact us button for additional info. Many if not all of the Villages Health SPECIALISTS accept outside insurance, the Villages Health system and primary care doctors ONLY accept 3 or 4 advantage plans, and the advantage plans are generally not accepted (or on a very limited basis) for doctors and specialists outside the villages. We were in the villages health plan and had some problems with the advantage plans and were able to switch back to regular medicare and supplemental plans.
Since you mentioned some recent medical concerns I would be very careful about changing plans. You are wise to look into this, hope the link to SHINE helps, we have found them to be very useful, and their info is UNBIASED.
