UHC Medicare Advantage dropped Moffitt along with a lot of other providers.
UnitedHealth Culls Doctors From Medicare Advantage Plans - WSJ
The developer is well aware Moffitt isn't in the UHC Medicare Advantage plan. Despite that, Villages Health decided the only Medicare Advantage plan they would accept would be UHC. Villages Health placed daily ads in the Sun encouraging everyone to enroll in the UHC plan. They even guaranteed 24 hour appointments to those on the plan. In addition, we received a letter from our Villages Health doctor encouraging us to enroll in the plan and one day there was a letter to the editor in the Sun stating how wonderful the enrollment process was since all the Villages Health facilities had on site sales reps for the plan.
The ads in the Sun clearly stated the Villages received royalties from UHC Advantage for enrolling.
Bottom line, Morse tries to get Villages to fund all the equipment for Moffitt in the Villages a few years back telling us how wonderful it will be. But now, decides to limit Medicare Advantage plans at Villlages Health to only one provider who doesn't have Moffitt in the network.
Form your own opinions as to what drove the decision to use UHC exclusively.
