The Villages Health dropped Aetna plans years ago.....we were one of those that was dropped. Reasons speculated on by residents is that Aetna's payments were slow and always contested, the profit margin was adversely impacted by Aetna and procedures were routinely questioned. Don't know if true or not but The Villages Health is a business so they make their decisions based on business models. We stayed in the system and haven't regretted it.
