Good morning and welcome! My husband and I have been here almost 16 years and are perm residents. We uses Tricare Prime exclusively. We're in our 70's and since we have been here he has had 2 knee's and 1 shoulder replaced, and a bout with colon cancer which we chose to have treated at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I have had a pacemaker implanted and two broken wrists. We are healthy and very active. We have had no problem with our Tricare Prime/ medicare combo and have never had to pay out of pocket for medical expenses. Many Dr's are now excluding this combo for the new Advantage plans. We've chosen not to go that route as we are VERY happy with what we have. The Village Health uses the Advantage plan, we can uses their specialists and I do, but we also have the option of using any Dr. we choose, thus Mayo. All the Drs we have used (many) are here in The Villages and practice in the local hospitals when needed. Just so you know you have that choice if you want Tricare Prime!
