Check around. Many non-The Villages Health physicians do not accept any Medicare Advantage Plans. The reason is that their payment to physicans is very low compared with traditional Medicare and their "control" over patient care is not acceptable. A group physician practice has more leverage in negotiating a contract and can attract the volume of patients to make a single Medicare Advantage Plan a finacially feasible arrangement.
