Also, I was shocked that The Villages Health Centers only accept Medicare Advantage and not traditional Medicare. Is that because the reimbursement for physician services is that much different between the two options?

I recently went to the ER in January in the villages .
I am a veteran. I gave the registration person my VA healthcare card , but the insisted I provide my regular Medicare card and my AARp supplemental insurance card . I was surprised to find out the hospital billed all three and was paid by all three .
When I reported this to the VA , they told me not to worry , the hospital will be audited and have to pay back regular Medicare and my supplemental. So I’m not sure about the villages hospitals not accepting regular Medicare.
