Has anyone noticed the Leesburg Hospital is on PUP's approved plan, however The Villages Hospital is not approved for PUP?

Seem quite strange to me.

Could it have to do with the doctor's in their network? Don't think it's something to be concerned about nonetheless. Or that it's another advantage plan... I'm thinking advantage plans are going to be phased out eventually.

Medicare covers dogs now?

When my mom signed up for PUP, we were told both Leesburg and TV hospitals are on the plan for 2014.

Does anyone know what happen to PUP'S website? Up until today you could pull up the 2014 PUP plans along with the provider directory. Also, you could access the 2014 formulary list of drugs Now you cannot access them. Whats up?

2014 Plans are no longer on the web site. I called and ask them to send me information on the 2014 plans. That was 10 days ago and I still have not received the info... Makes me question if I would consider signing on with PUP.

Do you think that the recent controversial legislation has anything to do with these changes?

I called for information nearly a month ago. After that I waited about two weeks and called again. The second person I talked to said she would send it out in case the first one was not sent. So, that's two separate orders and I'm still waiting.

Perhaps I should call again on Monday and ask to talk to a manager.

I don't know if they insure dogs, but this plan is definitely going to the dogs!

Called PUP this am and enrolled. Their site was down and that is why the 2014 plans disappeared - they are correcting it. Very pleasant experience enrolling over the phone and only took about 15 minutes.

Thanks for the update. We enrolled my mom last week and were a little concerned that the 2014 plans weren't showing anymore.

[Villages PL]

I enrolled in PUP this morning, by telephone, and it took about 45 minutes. Well, I had some questions and one of my questions uncovered something very important.

The first time I called, I was told there were two doctors available. Then I heard on this site that one of them wasn't taking any more patients. So I asked for the other one by name. And she wrote that down as my choice.

Later in our conversation I asked her about my February appointment for a blood test. I asked her if I could still get the same test as ordered by my Dr. Hunt. "You have Dr. Hunt?" she asked. "Yes" I replied. "Oh, he just signed on as one of our providers." So, it came as a big surprise that I will get to keep my doctor.

Also, I will get to keep the same gym membership at the same location.

The PUP site isn't down, it's just the 2014 plans that are missing. The plan has no information on the medicare site either. It's almost like they don't want you to sign up.
