We have been told this is an issue with specialists in general. So we are exploring alternatives. Recommendations would be most welcome.

I believe you are describing one of the problems with
The Villages United Healthcare Advantage Plan (in-network providers). If you are otherwise happy with UHC, you could switch to one of their other Medicare Advantage plans (which are also accepted by The Villages Health), i.e. AARP Medicare Complete Choice Plan 2. This is a PPO, with a much larger in-network provider base, including specialists (that you do not need a referral for).
