Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

The Best Doctor I Ever had...

from Joan in MA • March 10, 2020
Initially I questioned whether I would follow him to concierge medicine. Doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made. Recently he identified something needing follow up and intervention. His ability to find it was itself amazing. He intervened to schedule a quick study and further follow up. He gave me the good news far in advance of hearing from the hospital. I appreciated his consistent Read more...

My doctor and my best friend!

from Irene in MA • March 10, 2020
I have been seeing Dr Legare well over 15 years, where I was his patient before him joining the concierge program. I was heart broken to learn that he was going to be part of it and what was I going to do. I tried seeing someone not part of that program and it took one visit for me to realize Dr Legare was a doctor who really knew me, knew how I ticked and was and is ALWAYS looking out for my Read more...

Dr Ned Legare the Life Saver

from And in MA • March 10, 2020

It was November of 1997. I was complaining about discomfort in my chest and Dr Legare ordered a stress test. Nothing showed up that was alarming, but I continued to experience mild shortness of breath and slight discomfort. Unsatisfied with continued standard tests results, Dr Legare ordered a cardio-cath where it was determined that my left main artery was close to 90% blocked. Apparently, the Read more...
