My husband currently has The Villages UHC Medicare Advantage Plan. He was a bit alarmed when he was told that the ONLY ear, nose and throat physician who would accept his insurance was in Tavares. We have been told this is an issue with specialists in general. So we are exploring alternatives. Recommendations would be most welcome.
I have Medicare and a Blue Cross Medigap Plan C and it works great everywhere I have been. Yes it is more expensive than most advantage plans but for me its worth it. NO restrictions as to where I have treatment. My choice , not dictated by a medical plan.

Have had in access of over $200K in bills and never paid any money other than my premiums. It really depends on you. One caveat..If you join an Advantage plan and become really ill you might not be able to switch to some other coverage later because of the underwriters.

Good Luck!
