MDVIP Benefits
With MDVIP affiliates you are getting more than just a Doctor, you’re getting a partner in Health. Our nationwide network of affiliated primary care doctors deliver a better healthcare experience to more than a quarter million patients around the country. How is it better? Our approach to medicine is personalized and puts YOU first.
- You will get an appointment with your doctor the same or next day instead of waiting weeks, the average waiting time for an appointment at a traditional primary care practice.
- Your appointments will start on time – you won’t be stuck in the lobby waiting an hour for your visit to begin.
- You’ll see your doctor, not some other provider.
- You’ll be able to reach your doctor after hours for urgent care needs.
When you see your doctor, you won’t be rushed out of the exam room. You’ll have time to talk about all your health concerns and get your questions answered. And your doctor will work with you one-on-one to help you stay well and prevent illness.
Each year your physician will take you through the MDVIP Wellness Program, which is paid for by your annual membership fee. This comprehensive health assessment program includes advanced medical tests and health screenings typically not covered by commercial insurance or Medicare. You and your doctor will use these test results to create a customized wellness plan to help you achieve your health goals.
AN ANNUAL WELLNESS PLAN CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU
Think about the last wellness checkup you had. How much one-on-one time did you have with the doctor? Did you feel rushed? Did you talk about prevention? Did you leave with a detailed action plan for your health and understand the next steps?
In most annual health screenings and checkups, a nurse takes your vitals, records your medications and asks a few questions about your medical history. She may also screen you for certain risk factors, such as smoking. Following your physical exam, your doctor may recommend some follow-up tests, draw your blood and send you on your way with the suggestion that you lose a few pounds or continue taking your vitamins. This is all that time allows.
With more time devoted to less patients, MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices can go beyond basics. Each year your doctor will take you through the MDVIP Wellness Program, which is paid for by your membership fee. You will receive comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that have been shown to help detect issues earlier but are not typically covered by commercial insurance or Medicare. The results help give a clearer view of your overall health.
AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR HEALTH
You and your doctor will discuss your health test results in detail. You’ll know your numbers and your doctor will help you understand what those numbers mean and how they can be improved. Together, you’ll develop an individualized action plan that will include next steps, how progress will be measured and a time frame for follow up.
Whether you’re managing a chronic illness, have a family history of disease or consider yourself the picture of health, there’s always room for improvement. This is what the MDVIP Wellness Program is all about — identifying and addressing your unique needs so you can focus on living your best.
