The Villages Health Center - insurance???
We have Medicare and Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield. We are thinking of moving to TV but need to be sure we will have health coverage. I vaguely recall about a yr ago the Health Center said they would no longer accept Medicare but instead will accept Medicare Advantage and United Health Care plan or whatever.
Has anyone with pre-existing conditions had any problems switching over? |

Our insurance will not cover The Villages Health Care, but we have only heard good things from our friends who use them.

Village Health care Specialists accept all the usual insurances. My wife and I are very satisfied with Villages Health and feel it is better health care than what we had back in MA because of the way the approach Villages Health approaches it. Since we've been in Villages Health my wife has had major surgery and it went very well including the followup. Of course your milage may vary. |

I didn't have a serious pre-existing condition when I moved to TV. I chose Villages health advantage plan and so far I'm very pleased with it.

It is great that so many of the posters are happy with their Villages Health Care coverage. However, that is not the original poster’s question. GG’s reply is correct. There are numerous health services/providers that are not part of the Villages Health Care system where other Medicare insurance is accepted. Like the OP, we have Medicare and Florida Blue as our supplemental insurance. We have experienced zero issues in finding all types of health care.

Call Mid Florida Insurance in the Palm Ridge Plaza on CR 466. They are local BCBS and can advise you about best plan for you.

Point is there is no need for the OP to switch to The Villages Health Network. There are plenty of providers that will accept the OP’s current Medicare Supplement Insurance. Makes the pre-existing conditions question moot.

The reason I asked this is because up here in Minnesota United Health Care rejected our applications due to our pre-existing conditions so I wanted to make sure we don't get slapped again down in TV. I am happy to hear that there are other health service providers that will accept what we already have.

OP, be sure to contact Florida SHINE, SHINE - Home, 1=800=963-5337. They provide unbiased health care info. Also note: once you change to an ADVANTAGE plan you may be subjected to underwriting if you try to get back to Medicare and a supplemental, be sure to discuss this. We had the villages health plan and had to leave due to either a shortage of specialists or very long wait times for appointments.
