We are still looking for a Villages doctor, both of us less than 2 years away from Medicare. Have Medical Mutual now, and Villages Health Care told me by phone that they accept it. What concerns me is that we don't yet know what we will choose for a supplement or Advantage plan. If we stay healthy, will likely go the Advantage plan route if I understand the choices correctly.
So - I have 2 concerns - we are snowbirds, although Florida residents, and must find a plan that has doctors we like in both places, preferably our current ones in Ohio. The other concern is don't want to start with the Villages Health Plan and then find out there are no doctors in Ohio in the United Health Care Advantage plan - someone here mentioned it is specific to Florida or The Villages? I need to do more homework, don't want to shop for doctors again in less than 2 years.
Another concern is that my husband's choices thru State of Ohio healthcare retirement plan are in flux as well. Used to be your only choice as a retiree was Humana, not sure that will be the case next year. Good thing we are retired and have the time to research all of this!
And, like has happened to others everywhere, the plans switch doctors and vice versa.
