About Helen Barold, MD, MPH, FACC
My goal as your personal primary care doctor is to work closely with you to help keep you healthier and try to prevent new problems from developing, when possible. I believe strongly in preventive care. We can work together to come up with a plan for your specific health needs and goals. Each person can benefit from more individualized attention, as every person is different. I will work with you at each step to assist you with making more informed decisions as you pursue a healthier lifestyle. We will review your medications and consider the minimal amount to help you work toward your goals while keeping within evidence-based treatment. I will listen to your concerns and help come up with a mutual plan of care. I have practiced in the North Bethesda, Maryland/Washington, D.C. area for 24 years and am board-certified in cardiology.

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.
