Default Medical Insurance coverage question

My wife and I will be moving to The Villages in the coming months and I am trying to figure out the medical coverage questions I have.
I am covered by Medicare (part A&B) and Blue Cross as my primary. My wife is covered by Blue Cross only. Any help or suggestions on the following questions would be greatly appreciated:

1. Is there a list in TV or providers that accept those coverages?
2. Is it easy to find a primary care provider as a new resident? We live in Vermont now and that is a challenge.
3. I'm assuming the local hospitals all accept that coverage if we had to go in for any type of emergency. Is that a true statement?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide to future residents.

If you have Medicare, how can Blue Cross be your primary insurance? If is very easy to find local primary care providers who accept Medicare. But, there are so many different Blue Cross plans, you would need to contact the providers individually to determine if they accept your plan.

Thanks for that information. Yes, Medicare is primary and BCBS is secondary that was a typo.
