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. Lea Anna Fentriss

There aren’t enough words to describe the kind of doctor she is. She is knowledgeable about every aspect of care and cares about every person she treats. She gave me the incentive to lose weight and control my sugar intake and because of her, I feel so much better.

Oh My Aching Back!

from Jan in TN • February 11, 2024
I was arriving for a ski trip far from home and had not even skied yet when my back went out. After a couple of days of trying to rest it, the pain remained excruciating so I called Dr Fentriss who worked with me remotely working with a doctor friend who happened to be with me. Between text and phone calls, she was able to support me and that continued on my return through fast tracking an MRI Read more...

Doctor Who Truly Cares

And to close the loop, my doctor came by the hospital the day after Read more...
