I am grandfathered into TVHealthcare but my wife will turn 65 next year so we have some decisions to make. My research indicates there is no benefit for someone already in Medicare w/TFL to change.
To be brief, I can find no quality dental or vision practices that accept the United Healthcare insurance. They seem to have signed up all the high pressure practices in the area that want to press you into unneeded work that is not covered by their plan. There are one or two small practices listed but I suspect they are barely making it as a business and signed up with a lot of hope but not much service to provide and that leads me to question their rigor in infection prevention.
United Healthcare/TVH are asking about 1,000 retired military families to switch, but there is not one person on their staff that can talk knowledgeably about TFL and how it interfaces with UNH.
TV tried to create a good healthcare system and I believe their intentions were good (as long as it was profitable) but it failed..... And now we veterans are being shuttled off to the least cost provider that will kick back to the TVH.
