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 Ross D. Podell, MD

A true life-saver

from Rob in PA • March 14, 2024
Dr Podell saved my life. Literally. After a handful of PSAs at or around 4, he encouraged me to see a urologist who dismissed my high scores since I showed no other symptoms. After not being convinced everything was fine, he referred me to a second urologist who took a different approach despite his skepticism and did a biopsy. The result? Aggressive prostate cancer at the age of 52. Gleason Read more...

The Best of the Best

from Daniel in PA • February 12, 2024
I've been a patient of Dr. Podell for about 10 years, having lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, New York and Virginia over my 75 years. I used to think some of my previous doctors were very good, until I met Dr. Podell. Over the years, I've had issues with cluster headaches, high cholesterol, psoriasis, BPH, elevated PSA, anxiety attacks...I guess everything someone of my age Read more...

Caring, intelligent great listener

from Neal in PA • February 10, 2024
Dr. Podell is a listener and asked the right questions.
Always available for a consultation and really cares about you as an individual, not just another patient.
If the matter is urgent, he will git you in.
Less urgent matters he will see you in a very timely manner.

In Gratitude to Dr. Podell: A Journey from Uncertainty to Health

from Chad in PA • January 18, 2024
Image provided by: Chad
Approximately seven years ago, I had the good fortune of consulting Dr. Podell for what I believed was a minor concern. Little did I know, this visit would be a life-altering experience. Initially, I approached Dr. Podell for a referral to scan for a suspected hernia. However, Dr. Podell's thoroughness and keen observational skills came to the fore during a routine check-up. From a distance Read more...
