So much misinformation here about advantage plans. One type of advantage plan is a PPO. In my opinion much more flexible than an Advantage HMO plan.The Villages Health Care accepts this plan. Here is a link to a one page synopsis by Medicare.gov that will educate you about choice of doctors, specialists, etc.


Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) | Medicare

1 FYI when you do your analysis don't forget to multiply your supplemental premium by 12 and then compare to your advantage plans out of pocket max.
2 No one is guaranteed their doctors will continue to accept any plan including straight forward Medicare.
3 If you need some world renown specialist at our ages your close to cashing in your chips. In today's electronic communication age most doctors and organizations are up to date on gold standards. For me it's quality of life (including the burden I may submit my family to) Vs quantity.
