Villages Health changing to Florida Blue?
Anyone else hear about this? I wonder how it will affect our coverage, premiums and out of pocket costs?

They have changed management. Understand they will be selling to Optum effective 1/1/20. Hearing they will begin accepting original Medicare at that time. I won’t go back after being “grandfathered in”. And they told “things change”. What has changed is that they had been running negative cash and losing money since kicking us out.

Are you naive enough to believe that the TVHC and UHC did not work in consortium to limit the patients to ONLY UHC?? This is a case of one hand washing the other in pursuit of maximum profitability!! I am not saying this is wrong, just putting the cards in place.:)

Perhaps this is a Trend for Village Health. It would be nice if they accepted more companies IMHO.
|
I think it isn't that the Villages aren't accepting new insurance companies, but that new insurance companies may not want to be part of this system.

The Villages Healthcare signed a capitated agreement with UHC in which they would be the exclusive providers for the Medicare Advantage plan in our area and Villages Health would not accept other carriers.
It's apparent that the arrangement has not worked well (probably for both parties) thus it is being changed. Agreements such as these have been around since the 70s. |

Vast conspiracy? This is a normal occurrence in healthcare.
