BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — MDVIP, the national leader in affordable personalized healthcare, announced today that Mark M. Medeiros, M.D., has opened an MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Medeiros is board certified in Family Medicine and is affiliated with HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center. He joins more than 25 other MDVIP affiliates in Greater Phoenix who are delivering a better healthcare experience with an emphasis on health prevention, not just the treatment of illness.
Mark M. Medeiros, M.D., a family practitioner in Scottsdale, Ariz., joins the MDVIP network to deliver personalized primary care.
“My mission is to help patients navigate their own course to good health, not only as their doctor, but as their healthcare advocate,” said Dr. Medeiros. “By opening an MDVIP-affiliated practice, I’m able to spend much more time getting to know my patients on a personal level and collaborating with them on making healthcare decisions and lifestyle choices that meet their needs and goals.”
Personalized Preventive Care
MDVIP-affiliated physicians maintain significantly smaller practices, which allows them to spend more time with patients and provide highly individualized primary care compared to traditional practices. For an annual membership fee, each patient receives the MDVIP Wellness Program, a comprehensive yearly health assessment that includes advanced diagnostic tests and screenings to give a more complete view of the patient’s overall health. Using the results, physicians provide coaching and tools to help patients make healthier lifestyle choices, prevent disease and achieve their wellness goals.
Proven Health Outcomes
Published research supports the MDVIP model. Medicare patients in MDVIP-affiliated practices were admitted to the hospital 79% less than patients in traditional practices, and commercial patients were in the hospital 72% less, notes an American Journal of Managed Care study. This significant reduction in hospitalizations yielded a $300-million savings for Medicare in one year. Readmission rates for Medicare patients suffering heart attack, congestive heart failure and pneumonia were dramatically lower than for non-MDVIP Medicare patients.
Smaller Practice, More Time
Other benefits of an MDVIP-affiliated practice include same- or next-day appointments that start on time and last an average of 30 minutes. Physicians are reachable 24/7 by phone. If patients have an emergent need while traveling, their physician can help arrange care with a local hospital, pharmacy or doctor, which may include another MDVIP-affiliated physician. Demonstrating the value of the MDVIP model, patient satisfaction and annual membership renewals consistently exceed 90 percent.
