Understanding the MDVIP Model

Unlike traditional concierge practices, MDVIP provides comprehensive, preventive care services at an affordable annual fee, typically $2,400–$5,000, covering advanced diagnostics not generally covered by insurance. MDVIP practices remain compatible with Medicare and commercial insurance plans, ensuring broader patient affordability and continuity of care.

MDVIP’s model emphasizes closer doctor-patient relationships and preventive care through smaller practices. Over 1,300 physicians have successfully transitioned, reporting improved patient outcomes, professional satisfaction, more income and better work-life balance. MDVIP provides extensive support, from practice onboarding to retirement, backed by proven methodologies and continuous professional resources.

No. MDVIP-affiliated physicians maintain full autonomy and control over their practices. MDVIP supports your operations with tools, resources, and guidance but does not micromanage clinical decisions or daily workflow.

Financial consideration & benefits

Yes, many MDVIP-affiliated physicians experience improved financial stability through predictable, membership-based revenue. Smaller patient panels (around 600 members) mean reduced overhead and administrative burdens, enabling higher professional satisfaction and financial benefits.

MDVIP complements Medicare and most commercial plans. The annual membership fee covers preventive care not reimbursed by insurance, while routine medical visits continue to be billed as traditionally, providing a flexible and financially sustainable practice structure.

Exploring & transitioning to MDVIP

MDVIP conducts a no-cost, no-obligation practice evaluation using a proprietary methodology proven by thousands of successful transitions. The evaluation helps predict your practice's suitability, ensuring informed, confident decisions for your future.

Transitioning a traditional practice independently can be challenging and risky. MDVIP provides comprehensive transition support—including operational, marketing, technological, and legal services—ensuring a smooth, predictable conversion with ongoing practice support.

Continuity of care is a key priority. We help you establish clear continuity-of-care plans, seamlessly transitioning non-participating patients to trusted local physicians or within your existing group practice.

MDVIP-affiliated practices appeal broadly, attracting patients who value personalized care, preventive services, and enhanced doctor-patient relationships. Membership includes a diverse demographic, from working professionals using HSAs/FSAs to Medicare beneficiaries seeking attentive care.

Day-to-day practice experience

No. MDVIP’s preventive, smaller practice model significantly reduces after-hours calls and hospital admissions. Physicians typically report fewer after-hours disruptions and greater ease taking vacations with available peer coverage.

Retirement and succession planning

MDVIP offers comprehensive succession planning to help monetize your practice and ensure care continuity for patients. Our experienced team assists you in recruiting and transitioning your practice to a suitable successor, maximizing your practice’s financial value upon retirement.

Yes. Many physicians extend their careers happily under the MDVIP model. When ready, MDVIP’s robust retirement planning services ensure a smooth transition and maximum practice valuation, providing financial security for your retirement and allowing your legacy to live on.

Opportunities and suitability

Absolutely. Over 100 MDVIP-affiliated physicians are in their 30s and 40s. Younger physicians appreciate the financial security, professional autonomy, and enhanced work-life balance, often reporting that their primary regret is not joining sooner.
