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.

Testimonials from patients of Sam Setareh, MD, MS, FACC

New doctor is already a VIP in my healthcare 'family'

from Ian in CA • February 10, 2024
Image provided by: Ian
I had only seen my MDVIP doctor, Dr. Sam Setareh, once -- for our introductory meeting -- before I fell very ill with a serious ear infection that landed me in the hospital. I connected with Dr. Setareh via email soon after to let him know (he is incredibly responsive over email), and he got me in to see a top ENT specialist quickly for a follow-up appointment. This specialist noted that, Read more...
