You are correct about the SPECIALISTS taking Medicare and supplemental, I actually use a couple of them. The confusion is that you cannot use the villages health for your Primary Care Physician (PCP) as that system only takes the ADVANTAGE plans. Our problem was back in the 2013-14 time frame we were in the VHS and were in the group that was grandfathered, and then forced out as we did not want to give up our Medicare plan. We did try the advantage plans and had problems that we could NOT continue to use specialists that we already had as they would not accept the advantage plans.
