Why Virtual-First Primary Care Is Changing Healthcare—And How My Virtual Physician Can Be Your Ongoing Partner
The way we access healthcare is evolving, and virtual-first primary care is leading the way. At My Virtual Physician, we’re proud to offer a modern approach that delivers convenience, continuity, and comprehensive care—no matter where you are.
The Challenge: Accessing Primary Care in the U.S.
– Nearly 100 million Americans live in areas with a shortage of primary care providers, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
– The average wait time for a new patient to see a primary care doctor in the U.S. is nearly one month—and even longer in some regions.
– Many patients face barriers like lack of transportation, limited office hours, or long distances to the nearest clinic.
– Studies show that delayed or inconsistent access to primary care can lead to poorer health outcomes and higher healthcare costs.
What Is Virtual-First Primary Care?
– Primary Care, Reimagined: Virtual-first primary care means your relationship with your doctor starts online. You meet with your provider through secure video visits for everything from annual checkups to ongoing management of chronic conditions.
– Your Medical Home, Online: Just like a traditional primary care office, your virtual provider gets to know your health history, coordinates your care, and serves as your go-to for all health concerns.
– Not Just Advice—Full-Spectrum Care: Our primary care physicians can do much more than answer questions. Using our advanced EMR system (Athena), they can:
– Order Referrals: Need to see a specialist? Your MVP doctor can send referrals directly to the appropriate provider.
– Order Labs: Bloodwork, routine screenings, and specialty tests can be ordered electronically, with results sent right back to your MVP care team.
– Order Imaging: If you need an X-ray, MRI, or other imaging study, your provider can place the order and coordinate follow-up care—all from your virtual visit.
Expanded Services for Ongoing Health
– Chronic Care Management: We help patients with chronic illnesses (like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease) manage their conditions with regular virtual check-ins, medication adjustments, and care coordination.
– Transition Care Management: Recently discharged from the hospital? Our providers can help you safely transition back home, review your medications, and coordinate any needed follow-up.
– Remote Patient Monitoring: For eligible patients, we offer remote monitoring devices and virtual support, allowing your care team to track your health data in real time and intervene early if needed.
