I did read the information from the provided link and I was still left with questions. It seems to read--but I could be wrong-- that if you qualify for Medicare, you must chose one of the Medicare Advantage plans approved and in partnership with VH. If you have not yet qualified for Medicare, VH will accept insurance from the list provided on their website.
To try to get more information I contacted VH and asked about what insurance would be accepted by them, specifically for my wife and I. Can we maintain Medicare A and B plus a supplement, or do we have to join a Medicare Advantage plan?
I also asked about our ability to choose, maintain a relationship with and visit specialists without the approval and referral of a VH doctor. And I also asked if hospitalization at The Villages Regional Hospital is the sole choice for VH patient/members.
Those were my starting questions, but I know I have many more. When I get answers, I'll share them here.
