Tell us a bit about your business or organization:
Across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Palm Harbor, Florida, MDVIP has redefined the primary care experience for patients who want more one-on-one time and stronger relationships with their doctor. As the leaders in personalized medicine, MDVIP-affiliated primary care physicians have smaller practice sizes so they can hold longer visits with each patient and a focus on prevention and long-term wellness.
What’s more, these membership-based preventative health and wellness practices offer conveniences not found in traditional primary care, including same- or next-day appointments and your doctor’s availability after hours and on weekends. Care is provided by your personal doctor every time, not by a nurse or assistant.
The results of care provided under the MDVIP model speak for themselves:
- 97% of members are satisfied with their MDVIP-affiliated physician
- 72% fewer ER and urgent care visits vs traditional primary care.
How long has your organization been around in the community?
MDVIP was founded right here in Florida over 25 years ago by doctors who imagined a better way to deliver primary care. There are about 20 MDVIP-affiliated, independent internal medicine and family medicine physicians across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Palm Harbor. Nationwide, MDVIP has more than 1,400 physicians and 425,000 members.
How would you say your organization distinguishes itself from the others?
MDVIP enables a more personalized primary care experience that goes beyond concierge medicine, designed to put patients’ needs first.
Affiliated physicians offer the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes advanced screenings and tests focused on key areas of health to help identify risk factors and issues that could be treated earlier, prevented or even reversed. These diagnostics are traditionally not included in a standard physical nor covered by insurance. However, MDVIP does work alongside your existing insurance or Medicare coverage for routine care and specialist visits.
In the Tampa Bay area, where active lifestyles and year-round sunshine are part of daily life, MDVIP-affiliated physicians personally partner with patients to support their efforts to improve vitality and guide them on aging well.
