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.

Testimonials from patients of Michael R. Book, MD

Dr. Michael Book

from Katherine in SC • April 3, 2024
We have been with Dr. Michael Book for many years before MDVIP came along. His practice was so full that MDVIP made his practice more manageable for him. I know he can no longer take new patients and has a waiting list. We could not be happier with his office, his care, his personality. We can always reach him/see him when we wish, even while traveling.

Consistency

from Faith and Doug in SC • March 10, 2024
Michael Book is always available, knowledgeable and effective. That’s why we’ve been his patients for 20 years!

DR Michael Book has been my physician since the early eighties first on Kiawah Island. Now he is still my primary physician as I live at Bishop Gadsden retirement community. I am 92 years old and know I can be active in mind and spirit because of him.

Upon moving to SC, we were most concerned about how we were going to make sure we were going know what medical services to use. We had had wonderful healthcare services in the Northeast. We looked into the health care systems in the Charleston area, and we inquired of friends about the doctors they now used and liked. Over and over, we heard just amazing praises about Dr. Michael Book. We Read more...

Then enter Dr Book and my first real check ups and blood work. all kind of scary to me. Well, he is the kindest, most aware , involved Dr ..who spends real time getting to Read more...
