So, I suppose this means that patients of TV Health United Health's Medicare Advantage plan will not be going to The Villages Regional or Leesburg Hospitals for treatment in the future?
Sounds like the United Health Care reimbursement rate is miserly, even by Medicare standards. Maybe Moffitt, Mayo and other providers do not accept it for the same reason.

I'm quite confident the two parties will sync up. It will end up being does the dog wag the tail or does the tail wag the dog. May I suggest United Heath Care Ins Co is the Goliath of this duo.
