MDVIP is an American company, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, that operates a network of concierge physicians (see concierge medicine). The company's physicians practice preventive medicine and personalized primary-care medicine.
The national network consists of 1,300 physicians serving over 400,000 patients in 45 states and the District of Columbia.{{cite web|url=https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/philosophy|title=Our Philosophy and History - MDVIP|website=www.mdvip.com}} Each physician cares for up to 600 patients as opposed to the average 2,500-3,500 patients in a traditional primary-care practice. MDVIP patients receive a comprehensive physical examination and follow-up wellness plan as well as electronic medical records and a personalized patient portal with focus on diet, exercise, doctor communication and more. The company states that additional patient benefits include acute-care visits, same or next-day availability, on-time appointments, 24/7 physician availability, and enhanced coordination of specialty care.[https://www.mdvip.com/patients/benefits "MDVIP Patient Advantages"].

Business model
To supplement insurance reimbursements, MDVIP physicians charge patients an annual fee between $2,500 and $5,000 per year.{{cite web | url=https://www.mdvip.com/patients/benefits | title=MDVIP | Benefits of Our Patient Centered Care Program }} In addition to this annual fee, patients are responsible for applicable co-pays and co-insurance, and maintain primary-care insurance coverage including Medicare.[https://archive.today/20100818014513/http://www.mdvip.com/patient/insurancemedicare.aspx MDVIP Insurance and Medicare].[http://articles.boston.com/2011-04-17/business/29428534_1_concierge-medicine-mdvip-boutique-practices The Boston Globe]{{dead link|date=November 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} . Boston.com.
MDVIP physicians are not directly employed by the company, instead they pay a royalty or franchise fee of 1/3rd of the membership fee per patient per year for services such as patient conversion, marketing, branding and other support.[https://forrestdirectpay.com/page/why-forrest-direct-pay "Forrest Direct Pay"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402224259/https://forrestdirectpay.com/page/why-forrest-direct-pay |date=April 2, 2012 }}.
