Default Straight Medicare

Speaking of Villages Health.... when my wife turned 65 and obtained Medicare, she was thrown out of Villages Health. They say you must be in Medicare Advantage or you’ll be terminated.... and she was terminated. There are some specialists that won’t accept Medicare Advantage so she opted to remain in straight Medicare and was discarded as a patient in TV! Just terrible! Had to find another doctor outside of the Villages Health Care. For some reason, the Developer insists on Medicare Advantage and if you don’t comply, you’ll be terminated. So for those turning 65, you’ll have to take Medicare Advantage if you want to use Villages Health Care as your primary doctor. If you choose not to use Advantage, you’ll be ineligible to get your primary care at Villages Health. But remember, not ALL specialists accept Medicare ADVANTAGE so beware. It’s a trade-off.
