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.

My name is Sandra Hotzakorgian and I am writing to talk about the MDVIP program that was offered to me though my physician Dr. Steven Chooljian in Fresno, California.

A doctor friend recommended Dr. Chooljian.

from Betty in CA • February 24, 2015
A doctor friend recommended Dr. Chooljian. I had lost my husband a few months before and was devastated. It was so comforting to have a very understanding doctor to put my life back together. I had retired a few months before. I was able to return to work and work five more years after I had retired. I appreciate the yearly physical exams -following with a thorough review of the on going Read more...

He's just my doctor--and my friend.

from Wayland • March 23, 2017
I don't think of my doctor as an mdvil doctor. He's just my doctor--and my friend. He laughs at my jokes and gives me medicine when I need it. He hasn't killed me yet, but I do have pain in my left foot. We'll see how that goes and perhaps I'll write another recommendation. AND, I have his cell phone number!

Dr. Chooljian is fantastic!

from Linda in CA • February 27, 2018
Dr. Chooljian is fantastic! Professional, caring, genuine and easy to talk to! My family loves him!
