The MDVIP model is actually much simpler than most people realize. Let’s break it down…
In a traditional primary care office, one doctor often cares for thousands of patients.
This generally correlates with shorter visits, longer wait times, and, occasionally, less personalized care.
With MDVIP, doctors limit the number of patients in their practice. This correlates with more thorough appointments, same-day visits (or calls!), an incredibly comprehensive annual wellness exam, direct, nearly immediate communication with your physician, and more.
So good!
Yes, you still use your health insurance just like you normally would. The annual membership fee (approximately $2,600) also covers your children under 18 and includes all of the aforementioned perks right at your fingertips!
Think of it this way: Having this level of concierge-like health care gives you access to a physician with just one phone call or text, which is so comforting and offers tremendous peace of mind.
This is the biggest question people ask, and rightfully so. Let’s hammer it out…
“I already have insurance.”
And you still use it. The membership fee does not replace your insurance. It pays for time, access, and deeper preventive testing that goes beyond a standard physical.
“Isn’t this only for wealthy people?”
Not necessarily. The MDVIP membership is about prioritizing preventive healthcare by identifying risks early and building a plan before small issues become big ones.
“I’m healthy. I don’t go to the doctor much.”
Great; Dr. Dennis Sehgal with MDVIP will say to keep that up by keeping you healthy (not just treat you when you’re sick!)
Here in Madison, this model is brought to life by Dr. Dennis Sehgal.
Dr. Sehgal’s practice focuses on relationships, prevention, and direct access. His patients have a physician who knows their history, tracks their numbers, and partners with them long-term.
His preventive-focused primary care includes:
The annual membership fee covers that direct access plus two dedicated visits each year for…
And this goes so far beyond just labs!
That second visit is a true deep dive (diet, exercise, stress and mood, sleep, water intake, social interactions, hormones, quality of life, longevity goals)… literally anything you want to discuss.
He then creates a fully customized plan based on your individual goals for function, quality, and long-term health. And you track progress TOGETHER throughout the year.
For busy Madison families balancing work, school schedules, athletics, and aging parents, this kind of accessibility is life-changing!
Healthcare is changing, new strains of illnesses are forming, and many physicians are stretched thin. Dr. Sehgal wants to focus on your healthcare long-term, not just seeing or hearing from you when you’re suddenly sick.
The MDVIP model allows doctors like Dr. Sehgal to focus on highly personalized, preventative care.
Instead of reactive medicine (i.e., treating illness after it appears), this approach emphasizes:
Only you can decide what kind of primary care experience you want. If you value time (especially when you feel unwell), want direct access to your doctor (especially if you travel often), and prefer a doctor with a preventive rather than reactive healthcare lens, MDVIP with Dr. Sehgal is likely a perfect fit.
Instead of thinking of MDVIP as a luxury, consider it a strategy available to everyone interested in prioritizing preventive care.
Does MDVIP replace my health insurance?
No. You continue using your insurance for covered services. The membership fee covers preventive care and increased access.
How is this different from direct primary care?
MDVIP physicians still participate with insurance plans, but they limit patient volume to provide longer visits and a deeper preventive focus.
Who is a good fit for MDVIP?
Individuals who value prevention, want more time with their doctor, and prefer a proactive approach to long-term health.
