I have a neighbor who just experienced a hip fracture and was limited in skilled nursing because of her advantage plan. Beware.
We're on UHC Advantage and like it. I had a compound fracture of my tib and fib, and also broke my ankle in a dirt bike wreck about a year ago. I got great care through the whole process and am now 100%. After care was very good and everywhere I needed to go here in Indiana took UHC.
We were in TV all winter and there were plenty of choices for me there as well if I needed anything.

It worked for me.
