You will find doctors. However, you cannot use The Villages Health Primary Care, because you have Medicare Supplement. It is much better, in the end, to have original Medicare, with supplement (not Medicare Advantage) but the big disadvantage for you is not being able to use The Villages Health Primary Care. You can see the specialists with them. You can see pretty much any other doctor with medicare supplement.
With "advantage" - really it should be called disadvantage - you could only see doctors who were in-network (or pay fees to see out of network) plus you could get denied care for things your doctor says is necessary if Advantage - which is an insurance program - decides not to cover it. Advantage covers some drugs but you have no coverage for infusions, which are very expensive. (What I am saying about Advantage is true for all the companies - only the "perks", for instance some medical supplies shipped free to you in order to get you to sign up and keep you signed up, will vary)
