Otherwise, what is the point of using Villages property to operate health care facilities within The Villages? My opinion.

Only accepting selected Medicare advantage plans keeps the volume of patients lower. Plus, the selected plans are 4 and 5 star plans not the inferior plans that you see advertised on TV'S. "Who wants coffee?". The Medicare Advantage plans pay Villages Health after you are enrolled even if you never use their services.
"Medical groups can get paid from Medicare Advantage plans, as these plans contract with healthcare providers, including medical groups, to provide the Medicare-covered benefits to their enrollees, and are paid a per-person amount to provide the care. "
