Yesterday symptoms increased and we went to the nearby Fort Belvoir Community Hospital ER. It was not crowded and we were seen almost immediately. We received excellent care for 5 hours, getting chest xrays, blood tests, CA scan and urinalysis. We were discharged with some new prescriptions.
QUESTION: how does this compare with the treatment we can expect at The Villages?

The Villages health care centers will not accept original Medicare for primary care treatment. They will only accept a United Health advantage plan or a Florida Blue advantage plan. But, there are many primary care providers and specialists in the area who will accept original Medicare and Tricare.
I moved here from the northern Virginia area also, and, in my opinion, the quality and availability of health care in Virginia was far superior.
