I have the AARP Medicare Advantage PPO. For grins I looked up how limited my choices are. For example within 20 miles of Lady Lake the following docs are in network:
Surgeons - 134
Orthopedic Surgeons - 53
Urologists - 24
I hope you were not trying to paint a picture that there are very limited Advantage Plan choices Vs Medicare at least on The Villages Health accepted plans.
Another point - Approx 48% of all Medicare seniors have enrolled in Advantage Plans.
