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.

Exactly why I have traditional Medicare and Humana plan F supplement. Go to any DR, any facility, anywhere in the USA. I pay the monthly premium and never another dime. I avoid all Villages facilities with their restrictive policies. One thing I won't let TV control is my health care. Their $0.00 premiums are not worth the restrictions on care centers, referrals, co-pays, wait times, etc. and when the UHC contract expires and it will expire, who will you get next. Again any DR any hospital anywhere except in TV. Why do you suppose TV restricts this when the top Doctors and hospitals in the country don't? I think their right to make another dollar goes too far when they dictate where you get your medical care.
