The Villages Health System's internal specialists do accept Medicare supplement plans, while their primary care system is limited to Medicare Advantage. I don't know the reason but, after approx. three years of opening their first centers, they stopped accepting supplement plans in 2016. I wonder if it had something to do with a predictable cash flow, in that the government pays a lump sum yearly to an insurance co. for each Advantage patient.
