I'm pretty sure that you can't go to Moffit for treatment if you have United Health Care and are part of The Villages health and a lot of times you cannot see a doctor, they set you up with a PA or nurse practitioner.
This pertains to The Villages Health. I Agree... I don't think United Healthcare Advantage includes Moffit, but Florida Blue Advantage does include Moffit (and Shands).
If you need to see a medical professional immediately (the same day), you might see a PA or nurse practitioner. You might also see your Primary Physician. It depends on availability. But if you've scheduled an annual (or biannual) physical, you will almost always see your primary care physician... and it will be either a 30 min. or 60 min appointment.
