Personalized medical care

Nurses Activism

Published

Is anyone part of personalized health care called MDVIP as a patient or have any insight on this. One of our pulmonary doctors that we see as well as some of my family members is turning to this. He is holding a seminar on this for us and I will obviously find out more information as well. Wondering if paying this annual fee is worth it? Also wondering if any nurses work for a personalized medical provider?

MDVIP - Official Site | Take Control Of Your Health

Quote

MDVIP is a national network of primary care doctors who see fewer patients so they can focus on delivering personalized medicine, patient-centered medicine and preventive care that starts with the MDVIP Wellness Program. They also offer a better healthcare experience with conveniences and benefits not found in most practices today....

Each year your physician will take you through the MDVIP Wellness Program, which is paid for by your annual membership fee ranging from $1,650 to $2,200.* This comprehensive health assessment program includes advanced medical tests and health screenings typically not covered by commercial insurance or Medicare. Afterwards, a care plan will be developed with you.

NRSKarenRN,

Thank you however I already looked at their website. Looking for anyone who either participates in or works as a nurse for them to get a personal opinion.

This is also called sometimes called '"concierge" care and basically involves not taking insurance (cash only) so that doctors can spend more time on patients and less on getting paid. This is an area where I believe that NP's can be especially competitive in IP states given our lower cost, and traditional openness to evidence based, holistic, and CAM approaches.
