OP, contact SHINE, SHINE - Home for unbiased info on health info specifically Medicare and supplemental versus Medicare Advantage plans (I am assuming you are 65 or over). The Villages Health system is somewhat confusing, so do your due diligence, we had to change back from Advantage plan to Medicare and supplemental. Also, there are very specific limits on when and how you can change back.
Finally, you can use any of the Villages Health System SPECIALISTS if you are on Medicare and a supplemental plan, what you cannot do is use a VHS doctor for your Primary Care Physician, yes confusing.
There have been many threads and comments on both sides of this issue if you search this site.
