IMHO, you have a big problem, many of the outside (of villages health) will not accept the ADVANTAGE plans the VHS requires you the have for their coverage. I would contact Medicare, explain the situation and see if they will let you go back to original Medicare without underwriting. If so, then you can go to practically any doctor outside of Villages Health. If you cannot do this, I would escalate your problem to VHS management, with the threat of legal action if necessary. I am sorry for your situation, as you are now experiencing some of the problems we had years ago when we left VHS.
