This is unsettling. The biggest negative for joining UHC Advantage plan vs. a Medicare supplement is that you need "permission" to leave the local network if you are traveling.
This is not appealing to people who often find themselves "out of network." Maybe toward the end of life, it doesn't matter since you're not going to be traveling anyway, but right now it does. |

I have suspected this was going to happen. As I posted previously, when I called to ask about this very specific scenario of being a current patient with them, but not yet 65, they told me that when I reached 65, I am still grandfathered in. I haven't received my letter yet, but I still have several months before 65. And yes, Jomar, they do owe their customers honesty.

There are so many jumping to conclusions based on half-truths and rumors. I'm not yet 65, but I am a patient of TVH and I, like many who have switched or are planning to, will be choosing UHC Medicare Advantage when the time comes. Call one of the centers, ask to speak with a Manager, and ask WHY this is going on. It's very irresponsible to continue to spread nasty rumors.

My suggestion is that anyone concerned should go to the Medicare Store and talk with someone to get correct answers. We are in The Villages Health Program. I asked questions like Could I use Dr Duke in Ocala if I needed a knee replacement. Answe was yes. They will answer all questions

Hence, the reason I did not quote the OP. My comment was regarding the TVH/UHC situation, in general.

We've been very satisfied with United Health Care. It,s not either/or. Good idea to go to both SHINE and the United Medicare Store. A good friend works for Shine. He is good, but does not have all the info available as the Medicare store.
