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.
Moved here almost 3 years ago. TV Health sounded restrictive. They stopped accepting other insurances other than UHC. I had Aetna at the time. They then started accepting other insurances again, I think. I now have UHC (not through TV Health) and have no problem. TV Health ‘regional’ plan really scared me.
