Medicare Statistics
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 74% for Medicare
beneficiaries and up to 61% 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.*
