Medicare Statistics for 2004
What does all of this mean for patients? Patients in MDVIP affiliated practices are admitted to the hospital
at dramatically lower rates than non-MDVIP patients. Reductions in hospitalizations are up to 65% for Medicare
beneficiaries and up to a staggering 80% for those with commercial insurance. The results are scientific, not
anecdotal and are because MDVIP physicians have the time to have much closer relationships with their patients.
