The “feel good paper”
A good friend and retired managing Editor for the Hartford Courant Was recently our guest. Having read The Daily Sun he advised me it was one of the best newspapers he has read in recent years. He also commented that the price was an unbelievable bargain. He informed me that the journalism Was reflective of the investigative responsibilities that once was commonplace in today’s mass media and is now a rarity. Bottom line is that if a villager resident Is caught unawares it must be because they are just to smart to learn anything Beyond beyond their front door. |

I think the confusion is for people who were looking at UHC vs BC/BS for 2020. One of them doesn't cover Moffitt and Shands. I forget which one.

And to further clarify the misinformation that runs rampant on these forums , the Specialty Group of doctor’s in TV Health System most certainly DO accept Medicare .......

And that statement needs further clarification for all - The Villages Healthcare primary centers (where you go to see your primary doctor) do not take Medicare. It must be one of three specific United Healthcare plans (HMO, Local PPO, HMO-POS) or newly added specific Florida Blue plans for 2020 if you are 65 yrs old or older. The above statement is also correct "The Specialty Group" has an affiliation with the primary healthcare centers but also take other patients. Most of those docs take regular Medicare in addition to The Villages Health plans..

No. On the 7th they announced a cooperative agreement. Yesterday they announced a purchase. Big difference.

I think saying TVH doesn't take Medicare is misleading. They take Medicare Advantage Plans from UHC and FL Blue. |

This is all very confusing, especially to us relatively new snowbirds that have homes up north and homes in the villages. I’ve never had an issue with Medicare on my AARP/United healthcare supplement plan in Ohio. Every medical expense has always been nearly 100% covered. I have taken care of all my medical issues up north. Will I have medical coverage issues here in the villages? I have never seen a doctor or gone to a hospital in or near the villages yet.

Everything was paid for, except co-pays (except there are no co-pays for Villages Health). In fact, one hospital offered a discount on the co-pay if we paid upfront. |

You may also want to compare premiums for Medicare plans in both states. Florida has higher rates than some states and if you have great medical care in Maryland, you may want to keep it.
