Just remember, the successful doctors here in The Villages have to figure out how to survive on Medicare reimbursements. Comparing medical care here to a place like Boston, where doctors see a relatively low number of medicare patients, just highlights the problems with low Medicare reimbursements.

We have had good luck so far with PCP. However, my wife recently had a hospital stay at The Villages Hospital. The bill was $28,953.68. We paid a $200 deductible and PCP paid $6,206.76 which I assume is the Medicare reimbursement rate. I guess the hospital ate the rest.
