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 have traditional Medicare. No delays in treatment, no referrals needed for specialists, limit of $2000/yr on meds. Problem with Medicare Advantage is delay in treatment and you never know from 1 year to the next if the hospital you want to go to will be covered.
