Recently, we were surprised when we again asked TVHCS if they accepted our UHC plan, and they said they did. However, once we started to apply and fill in the paperwork, we were then told there were only 2 Primary care doctors in their system that accepted UHC, and it was / and still is months before we could get our first required appointment. They told us that even though it was currently months, after we filled in the paperwork and it was accepted, the appointment could perhaps be changed to a sooner date. Well, after being accepted and calling for a sooner appointment a few times during the last month, nothing opened up, and we just gave up...still waiting. Not sure if this recent announcement has much or anything to do with this. But beware, if you don't have The Villages Health insurance, you will be in for a long 1st appointment wait time for the very limited number of Drs that accept your insurance in their system
There are other providers in the area besides the TVH. I was turned down from the TVH and went with Orlando which has been fine.
