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.

Grateful

from Judy in AL • October 6, 2021
I could not be more pleased with my mdvip physician and his staff!
He is very caring and is staying on top of my
medical conditions.
I wish I had done this years ago and would have not gone through so much with medical people not knowing or caring.

A Friend as well as Our Physician

from Carol in AL • February 29, 2020

We have found a physician who does not treat us as if we were on an assembly line, rushed in and out the door in a matter of minutes. Dr Lovelady gives us his time and attention every visit. We can be in touch almost instantly if we have concerns or questions. Through our association, we have not only developed a patient/ physician relationship, but one as friends who care beyond the health Read more...

I feel very lucky to have Dr. Lovelady as a Primary Care Physician. He is knowledgeable and considerate; listens to my concerns , doesn't treat them as frivolous but helps me figure out what to do and how to treat them. He is honest and caring and doesn't just prescribe another drug and send me on my way. Very important to me as I get older and require more medical attention, I can Read more...

Dr. Lovelady is my hero.

from Anita • April 12, 2018
A couple months ago lump was found in my breast. I had all the required test and the doctor told me at my age it did not look good. Of course I was devastated. I feared the worse. I would be three days before I got my results. Three days ran into the weekend. On Monday I thought to email Dr. Lovelady and I was to hear my results on Tuesday. I emailed Dr. Lovelady and ask him to review the results Read more...
