No. This is entirely up to you and your physician, and MDVIP does not limit you in any way. In fact, MDVIP has no involvement in making referrals. You will continue to see any specialists or other providers as you did before being part of an MDVIP-affiliated practice, and you may seek care at any hospital or with any specialist.
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. Read more about the MDVIP model and patient benefits here.
