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.

Salvaging the vacation
from Patrick in NV • January 21, 2024
Two days before departing to Mexico My husband had a repeat of a medical condition that made walking on his heal extremely painful. A quick call to Dr Paul and he received the RX of antibiotics. This allowed us to have a great vacation with lots of hiking. This is the big difference having MDVIP. Our doctor responded immediately versus the normal "we can get you in next month" as is Read more...

We have been with Dr. Smith close to 20 years. He has been great. I feel comfortable with him and the staff. I'm frugal to a fault BUT, I won't be with Dr. Smiths medical care. He is the best.
