Florida SHINE (Senior Health Information Network) has lots of good information, onsite meetings and 800 phone info, SHINE - Home. Hope this helps. |
This is true about the Village Healthcare system. However it is not the only doctor in town. There are many other choices available to you. Some people don't care for Medicare Advantage plans because they limit you choices to physicians in the network. If something major happens and you want to go to Moffit, or Mayo Clinic, or Shands, you cannot.
