I love my doctor. She treats me well, and is the only reason my darling wife is still with me. I cannot say enough good about her, and the care she provides for us.about her.
But I'll be honest -- I hate trying to get an appointment with her. My doctor has a growing practice that includes a fair percentage of Medicaid patients, not to mention her chronically ill and Medicare patients who need a little bit of extra attention. And given her office hours, it can be a hassle tying to get in to see her. I wish there was a way to get the quality of medical care my wife and I receive in a way that was less of a hassle.
That is where a service like MDVIP would come in very handy. MDVIP is more than a concierge medical care service -- it is a network of top physicians with intentionally small practices who are devoted to preventive health care and building strong relationships with their patients, whether they are seeking treatment for acute or chronic illnesses. That means that you, as a patient, get improved personalized health care due to the doctor's ability to focus on your overall health -- you are one of fewer than 600 patients that the doctor treats. Patients are also able to access their doctor much easier, with the ability to get in contact 24-hours a day in the event a medical need arises. In a very real sense, this hearkens back to the days of the family doctor who knew his patients intimately and was therefore better able to care for them.
And let’s be honest about it – this approach is effective. As one examines rates of hospitalization for comparable MDVIP patients vs. non-MDVIP patients, the differences are staggering. Patients with Medicare are hospitalized at a rate 65% lower with MDVIP – and those with private insurance see a difference of some 80%! You really can’t argue with numbers like that, can you? This approach to medicine clear does benefit patients.
