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.

Testimonials from patients of Edward J. Legare, MD, FACP
It’s very important for me to be able to email Dr. Legare with my concerns, and to receive an answer, usually within a few minutes.
from rosalie in MA • February 8, 2014
Its very important for me to be able to email Dr. Legare with my concerns, and to receive an answer, usually within a few minutes. My husband and I spend about half the year in Florida, and while there I feel very vulnerable, so to be in touch with a wonderful doctor from home who will take the time to advise me is so comforting.

DR. LEGARE felt a lump in my lower left quadrant during my physical exam.
from Frederick in MA • February 9, 2014
DR. LEGARE felt a lump in my lower left quadrant during my physical exam. He immediately referred me to a Surgeon who removed my cancerous left kidney. Eleven months later he again referred me to an Orthopedic Surgeon who did surgery on the metastasis of the clear cell renal carcinoma to my right femur. Again, four years later I had the aforementioned metastasis redone.
