Villages Health-Advantage plans
Amazed to see the disparity of opinions on the topic of 'Villages Health' and 'advantage' plans. I agree to not believe the obvious 'hater's' who form opinions prematurely, without any real exposure, and then become rigid in proving themselves correct. All I got is my personal experience- 1)Have never had a more responsive or accomodating health care situation as I have with the Villages Health. I feel like a person, and not a social security #. 2)Advantage plans have incentives to KEEP you healthy, so will work harder to prevent issues, rather than just reacting to them. It's true-they are paid a fixed fee per patient, so the healthier you are, the better off they are. That's a win/win to me, not to you? 3) The extras-free gym memberships, OTC $$ given, eye exam and glass allowances, discounted hearing aids and even dental benefits, sometimes in the thousands of $$ make it a tremendous value.
My perspective might be skewed by the fact that I am relatively healthy right now, but my hope and belief is that the 'Villages Health' will be keeping me that way for years to come. Again- no hater's please-this is MY experience here.
