My doctor in Houston joined the MDVIP gimmick thing. What do I think of it? Let's see ... $1500 per year per family member PLUS my insurance copay and the payment from the insurance company for WHAT?!?! to not be rushed? I think it has more to do with a way to shake off the medicare, medicaid and low income patients who can't afford the up front money year after year. I think they should all be ashamed of themselves. The MDVIP people AND the Dr's who want to take the easy way out and just scrape the cream from the crop.
