What our members are saying

Dr. Ferrara has been my family doctor since 1993. During that time he treated me mainly for sinus infections, earaches, etc. I saw him only a few times a year. When my Mother was illl and in her last days on earth, it became very apparent that there needs to be someone to coordinate health care. She had lots of doctors and no one knew what the other one was doing for her treatment. Dr.…

Dr. Ferrara has been my doctor for more than 20 years. I joined MDVIP without a second's hesitation--as I knew he is too valuable a diagnostician and doctor to be without! He has watched my 2 children grow into adults, and has always done his best to see everyone in a timely fashion. However, with MDVIP, life has become even better as a patient! He is able to be very pro-active with my…

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.
