I do not think this holds water as the VHS could just require to see the villagers ID card. We were able to use this service in 2013 to 2014 with original Medicare and then the VHS said no sorry, Medicare Advantage only. At the time I left, my wife went on a Medicare Advantage plan, BIG MISTAKE, she lost access to all of her specialists and had long wait times for the new specialists, we got lucky and in discussions with SHINE found out she could get back to original Medicare and we made it just under the deadline. We miss the local PCP doctors, I could walk to the office, but we do not regret the decision to go back to Medicare.
