Schmitth, first, the villages health system (VHS) accepts ONLY 4 ADVANTAGE plans, they do not accept Medicare and supplemental.
If you go with Medicare and supplemental you will still have access to VHS specialists, the VHS hospital, all of the outside doctors, etc. I strongly suggest you contact Florida SHINE, SHINE - Home as they will provide UNBIASED health care info. If you decide to go with an advantage plan, and then decide you want to go back to Medicare, THERE IS A TIME LIMIT, keep this in mind. We loved the VHS system, but had to drop out when they decided to drop Medicare patients, we now have a Primary Care doctor about 20 miles away in Leesburg.
SHINE was a great help in getting us the correct information so we could make an informed decision.
