Total 2024 provider billing was in excess of $250K, my share of which was $1,500. The docs literally saved my life and UHC did what they were supposed to do.

Prior to that adventure, in the other years, again no problems with UHC. We did have o learn our way around The Villages Health System and other providers, but that's likely the same anywhere these days. A lot of people knock the advantage plan and say "wait til you have something serious happen." Well, I did and it worked out great. Best wishes.

Great? How about 8 surgeries in four years, 6 of them major, rehab and no pre-auth and NO money out of pocket and none of the surgeries in The Villages.
