Unlike concierge medicine or direct primary care models where physicians usually opt out of insurance, the MDVIP program is compatible with Medicare and most commercial plans, regardless of whether you’re an in-network or out-of-network provider. Aside from the MDVIP Wellness Program paid for by the annual patient membership fee, you can continue to collect co-pays and bill insurance for sick-care visits.

A byproduct of healthcare reform, more employers are offering high-deductible health plans with health savings accounts (HSA)–highly attractive because patients can keep their monthly insurance premiums lower while using HSA dollars to get reimbursed for their yearly MDVIP fee. The MDVIP program complements–even “supercharges”-the standard care covered by insurance for those patients who choose to invest in prevention and wellness.
