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 James W. Jacobs, MD

Dr. Jacobs goes the extra mile for his patients

from Vera in NC • March 11, 2020
I have asthma that occasionally flares to serious levels when I catch a cold or flu. Several years ago, I had such an experience, and as often happens I got worse on a Friday after hours. Dr. Jacobs was readying to travel overseas, to adopt a child that weekend. In spite of his own stresses of international travel, he made sure (on saturday) that I was able to obtain a home nebulizer, and went Read more...

I sleep better, and get up every day ready to keep going.

from Carrie in NC • March 11, 2020

I was a reluctant MVP convert. It was not my idea to ask Dr. Jacobs to be my doctor. It was a directive from my urologist. He wanted and needed a doctor on my "team" who would help coordinate my care. From my first visit, I knew I had found something better than a "healthy care coordinator." I had found a doctor who took the time to listen. To care. To take into consideration a complex medical Read more...

Thanks for your excellent care.

from George in NC • March 4, 2020
I appreciate your attention to detail and the complete evaluations that you provide on a yearly basis. I was especially impressed with the advice which you gave me regarding an episode of atrial fib on Thanksgiving morning. You were calm and provided good suggestions. One would never have known that it was a holiday in the kind and helpful manner that you spoke with me.

Thankful for Dr. Jacobs excellent care.

from Dick and Mary in NC • March 3, 2020
Both my husband and I have Dr. Jacobs as our primary physician and we are so thankful every day for the care we receive from him. My husband spent thirty years in the military as a pilot and a yearly physical was a requirement to remain on flight status, yet his military physical was never as comprehensive as the physical that he receives with Dr. Jacobs. Also, Dr. Jacobs helps us understand all Read more...
