The above quote is worth paying attention to.
This is the amount the US government pays each year automatically for each Medicare Advantage patient member, over and above what is being billed.
This gives The Villages Health and other primary healthcare providers a fixed amount to support the operation. Before coming to the Villages, we had a Medicare Advantage plan with Kaiser Permanente in Oregon. We had Kaiser HMO for all our working years before retiring at 65 and enrolling in Medicare.
We liked the HMO very much, so taking the Medicare Advantage when we retired was an easy choice for us. Our experience with UHC and Medicare Advantage with TVH has been excellent, too.
I hope this gets resolved quickly. And I hope the uninformed speculation disappears when replaced by facts. I want TVH to continue to provide the excellent Healthcare my wife and I have received over the past 5 years.
