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 Legare has been my dr for 25 years. In that 25 years I’ve only known him to be the most caring, concerned, and insanely thorough Dr in the world.

I have nothing but so much respect for Dr. Legare. He literally Read more...

LISTENING to patient.

from Parvine in MA • March 10, 2024
I had a knee replacement surgery a couple of years ago. After a couple of weeks my knee started getting red and throbbing. I visited my surgeon a few times to determine the cause. I knew it was an infection, but he kept sending me home and telling me to raise my leg and put ice packs on it .Only when I emailed my primary care and went into a sepsis infection shock, that my surgeon paid Read more...

He has supported me as I have Read more...
