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.

Dr. Ellis goes above and beyond EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. He is not only brilliant in being able to diagnose, he listens and HEARS me. He cares. He is compassionate.

Trust

from Judith in IN • February 25, 2024
I have been with Dr. Ellis for nearly 20 years now. I believe it's vital to have absolute trust in a primary care doctor. I have that with Dr. Ellis. He listens to me, is never condescending and has always given me plenty of time to explain any complaints, medical or otherwise. In the very rare cases when we have disagreed, he has always listened to my reasoning. I know he'll refer Read more...

Praise for Dr.Robert E Ellis

from William in KY • March 27, 2020
My experience with Dr. Robert E. Ellis goes back many years when he first opened his practice. I had a heart condition at the time. Dr. Ellis sent me to a Cardioligist who determined that I had blockage in my right coronary artery, he put me on medication to open the artery and this worked for quite some time.

from Kay in KY • March 27, 2020
I had a suspicious area show up on my lung on an x-ray for something else, so Dr. Ellis sent me to a pulmonologist who discovered a fungal infection. He put me on three different antibiotics for a year. It was a very long year because the medications had side effects but they worked and cured my problem. Without Dr. Ellis’ intervention I would have gone without treatment. On another occasion I Read more...
