Ppo
YES. We have UHC PPO and TVHC is our primary care facility. AND, we can go anywhere we want for specialists, for example, without a referral.

The Villages HMO
We have The Villages Medicare Advantage plan (HMO). They now put you on the Medicare National Network which means you can go anywhere and use any United Healthcare doctors. Great for traveling and snowbirds. No referrals needed.

Staying with UH advantage. Find medical system different than Ma but learning . Example if you go to an E.R. in Ma you come home with a cast, here you come home with a referral to an ortho. But that aside I like my primary and UF health.

I’m a longtime Villages Health patient.For some unknown reason after 15 years I switched from United Health to Florida Blue this year. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!
I won’t go into a lot of detail except to say that they truly are an HMO, requiring pre-approvals for lots of stuff. They are terribly slow to give the approvals. On two occasions they were so slow that my doctor ordered me to go to the ER where they would be required to treat me! That’s true, but it doesn’t say that I had to wait 14 hours in The Villages Regional Hospital to get the 15-minute procedure. I’m going back to United Healthcare which is truly user friendly. I’d recommend that you ask your doctor, nurses or other medical professionals. I’d bet that you’ll get a 100% response to stay away from Florida Blue!

The Villages Health is an in-network group. I learned that my audiologist was no longer listed by name in the FloridaBlue network provider list this past year, so I called both FB and VH. Both said that as long as the visit is at the Villages Health, any employee providing care there is "in network." It's the entire group that's in network rather than any individual physician.

My wife has another year to go until Medicare time so when I was going to enroll her in her FloridaBlue plan for 2023 what do you know, at the bottom of the list of providers UHC was there. Eureka finally my dream comes true. Not so fast. They don't cover any of The Villages Doctors or our Hospital which looks like Wayne Manor from Orange Blossom C.C. but is just about as inviting as a BatCave, ER-wise. |

I couldn't understand why or how they could just - watch this woman yelling in pain and vomiting in the middle of their waiting area. If she'd ruptured her spleen she would've died before anyone could even bring her a bag. |

I have been with UHC HMO for quite a while now. Have never had a problem finding a specialist when needed. I also think the no referral is a BIG thing. Have never had anything or anyone denied.
