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.

Dr. Christopher Russell and his staff (Anita, Sheila and Elizabeth) are so attentive and caring. As a senior citizen I have various issues - some real and some phantom ones!

I know that I am in good hands and that gives me great peace of mind. Thank Read more...

Over and Above

from Gayle in AL • March 12, 2020
When my husband was in hospital Dr Russell came in one Saturday. He said he thought they were going to start physical therapy on him that day. I told him my husband's walker was in parking garage. He said, "give me your keys, tell me what kind of car and where it is and I will go get it for you". How many doctors would do that. He also called me at home to ask where I wanted my Read more...

He is the best

Dr. Chris Russell is wonderful

from Glenda in AL • March 10, 2020
I have many stories, but will give three. Dr. Russell diagnosed my daughter in law’s problem over the phone, had her go to the ER immediately, he was there along with the surgeon when we arrived. She was rushed to surgery for an appendectomy, her appendixes were about to rupture. Because of his wonderful knowledge, excellent diagnosis, prompt response and care for his patients she had no Read more...

Dr. Russell: You are the very best!

from Denise in AL • March 10, 2020
I am so glad that we found our way to you and that you made space in your practice for us. At 68 and having been your patient for less than a year, I can say without question that you know me better and have a more thorough understanding of my healthcare needs than any of the doctors I have had as primary care physicians in the past. My last two primary care physicians took care of me for 12 Read more...
