What is required of health system leaders interested in exploring an MDVIP partnership, and how do we know this is right for us?

To furnish you with detailed results of our proprietary ACE Informatics™, our no-cost, risk-free practice and capacity analysis, MDVIP only needs you to supply physician network data. We combine business intelligence software, machine learning and physician/patient segmentation to evaluate the viability of MDVIP in your market. This sophisticated forecasting refined over 20 years predicts the potential of physicians’ success in our model.

Why partner with MDVIP instead of establishing an independent, membership-based primary care offering?

Innovation is time and resource intensive, especially with initiatives as multifaceted as launching a new service line. Partnering with the industry leader in membership primary care and leveraging our expertise in successfully transitioning over 1,000 practices will help you avoid the costly risks associated with trial and error. The result - a more expedient, economical and efficient process in creating a new patient entry point for your health system. Our extensive knowledge of the regulatory landscape also saves you time and money.

Why partner with MDVIP, instead of consulting with a concierge medicine company?

Our numbers speak for themselves - from millions of data points analyzed that help predict your success, to our national footprint of physicians and patients who report exceptional satisfaction in annual surveys and countless testimonials driving consistently high retention, to impressive outcomes published in prominent medical journals – our model works. And it works in a wide variety of communities and practice dynamics across the country as evidenced by thousands of successful conversions.

What happens to patients who do not join?

Although MDVIP isn’t a fit for every doctor and every patient, our highly predictable methodology identifies physicians most likely to prosper in our model and quantifies the number of patients we anticipate joining. As part of our proprietary capacity assessment, MDVIP creates a customized operational blueprint to help ensure patients who prefer not to participate can be absorbed by existing or newly recruited providers and retained in your system.

Why should my company select MDVIP’s corporate health program?

MDVIP is a top-rated executive health program, according to Worth magazine. Of those recognized, MDVIP is the only program to have a nationwide network of affiliated physicians. Our affiliated physicians also provide follow-up care and wellness planning, which can result in meaningful health outcomes. In addition, MDVIP’s program is different because members of MDVIP-affiliated practices enjoy conveniences not found in most primary care practices such as 24/7 doctor availability by phone and same- or next-day appointments that start on time.

How does my insurance work in an MDVIP-affiliated practice?

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.

What is included in an MDVIP membership?

As members of MDVIP-affiliated practices, your executives will take part in the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes comprehensive, advanced screenings and diagnostic tests not typically covered by commercial insurance. Our Wellness Program, comparable to an executive physical, addresses key areas such as heart health, diabetes, respiratory health, bone health, nutrition, fitness, emotional well-being, hearing, vision, weight management, sleep and management of chronic illness.

My insurance already provides for an annual physical, so why do I need the MDVIP Wellness Program?

The MDVIP Wellness Program includes lab tests, screenings and diagnostics that go beyond what is typically included in a basic physical exam. These tests, for example, have been shown to identify 40 percent more people at risk for heart attack or stroke compared to standard cholesterol tests. The detailed results of this additional testing, in combination with one-on-one counseling with your doctor, will be used to develop your customized wellness plan.
