TVRH accepts several insurers other than UHC...see the link below:

Insurance and financial services | Central Florida Health Alliance | Leesburg, Florida

Also, I believe the Morse's are major stock holders of United Health Care. Small World!

.

Where did the idea that TVRH only accepts UHC come from.

Conspiracy theoriess abound.

Two separate entities. Villages Health is not part of The Villages Regional Hospital. And vice versa. The hospital is part of Central Florida Health Alliance.

I believe someone else has stated this, but it is worth repeating. TVRH is not part of the Villages Health, and visa versa. TVRH ACCEPTS MANY INSURANCE PLANS. Folks it is important to understand the differences between TVRH and TVH. They are completely separate and independent organizations. The hospital is one, the medical group is another. Capiche?

Wow, makes me wonder how widespread this misconception is now.

One problem is that many people do not understand the anachronisms here, and frankly, I can't imanage how they can be expected to. Related to The Villages, I can think of...TV, TOTH, TVH, TVRH, VDCC, VCDD, VCCDD, etc....it never ends....how many more can you think of??..:22yikes:

Anyone concerned about what happened to the money that was donated and about why the relationship with TV deteriorated in such a short time.

I think you'll find that the money donated by residents was not misspent or lost. I also doubt that Moffitt entered into the contract with a pre-determined decision that they would only offer external radiation therapy, and none of the other cancer therapies available in Tampa.

It would certainly appear that the contract executed by The Villages Regional Hospital, at the time owned by the Developer, provided for an "out" if Moffitt or the hospital failed to perform well-defined actions. For whatever reason, Moffitt made the business decision that the would not invest in the other planned cancer therapy services required by the contract with TVRH. As the result, TVRH executed the "out" which resulted in Moffitt closing its doors in TV.

But other than another cancer therapy company buying out Moffitt with the intent to offer all the originally-planned services, little else has changed. The state-of-the-art machine purchased with resident donations is still there and treating patients. In fact other than the radiation oncologist, who chose to return to a practice up north, even the technicians and nurses who operate the external radiation therapy remain the same. The new owner-operator, a statewide cancer therapy firm, will be moving several other therapy practices (medical oncology, infusion therapies, etc.) from other office space in the Sharon Morse building into expanded space formerly occupied by Moffitt. So the more comprehensive menu of cancer treatments originally planned by the Developer with Moffitt will be offered, even though neither the Developer or Moffitt are no longer involved.

Please read this again. This poster to my knowledge is always fair and well informed and has no agenda.


There are other people who post on this forum who live to make trouble if you ask me.


I was annoyed last night at the debate at some of the questions posed meant only to cause controversy. It causes many uninformed people to throw the baby out with the bath water.


We need to keep fighting for the truth and for honest debate, and clarification here, there and everywhere. If it stinks a little funny, it probably is rotten.
