UF-affiliated physician offices would have to accept original Medicare if UF Health is accepting original Medicare in Gainsville.
The Villages Health clinics do not accept original Medicare for their primary care doctor visits. You must have one of their specified Medicare Advantage plans.

This is from their website:

"If you are Medicare Eligible, you have an important choice to make about Medicare and the primary care services you receive in this community. The Villages Health is a health care system specifically designed for your lifestyle, but when it comes to Medicare we only partner with a few Medicare Advantage plans.

We only accept Medicare Advantage because we care about the physical, emotional and financial needs of our patients. With Medicare Advantage, our patients stay healthier, experience less stress and save money on health care."
