MDVIP
MDVIP is a nationwide network of doctors that has more than 1,300 affiliated physicians in 44 states and the District of Columbia. MDVIP-affiliated physicians have the time to implement prevention strategies. They work with patients every day helping to identify risk factors, prevent disease and optimize treatment, from early detection to coaching patients on lifestyle changes that can really pay off. You’ve probably heard the old adage—an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While preventative medicine isn’t without cost, illness can break your budget.
MDVIP physicians see fewer patients, so they have time to really engage with you, answer your questions, and customize your care. They have time to put YOU first. MDVIP-affiliated doctors see an average of 8 to 10 patients a day resulting in more time for you. This means you will get an appointment with your doctor the same or next day instead of waiting weeks, the average waiting time for an appointment at a traditional primary care practice. Your appointments will start on time – you won’t be stuck in the lobby waiting an hour for your visit to begin. When you see your doctor — and you’ll see your doctor, not another physician or medical extender — you won’t be rushed out of the exam room. You’ll have time to talk about all your health concerns and get your questions answered. And your doctor will work with you one-on-one to help you stay well and prevent illness and chronic diseases.
With more time devoted to fewer patients, MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices can go beyond the basics. Each year, your doctor will take you through the MDVIP Wellness Program, which is paid for by your membership fee. The program includes advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that have been shown to better help detect issues earlier and are not typically covered by insurance. The results can help give a clearer and more detailed view of your overall health.
