Default UF Health Gainesville - no UHC???

Had an appointment with UF Gainesville with an electrophysiologist set up two weeks ago for an appt next week. Got a call today and was told UF Health Gainesville Cardiology will not take UHC The Villages because it's under WellMed.
Both doctor and Shands Hospital were on my UHC website as in network.
When I called UHC, I was told they are "in network" but not for UHC The Villages HMO WellMed.
Got a quick appt with Ocala Health (Dr Acevedo). May be better off.
Was told if I called UF Financial Office, they would tell me why they won't take the insurance that you hear UHC bragging about having access to.
