: Nearly 50% of U.S. adults are living with cardiovascular disease, or a major risk factor for it.

Many of these risks aren’t detected during a routine annual exam or standard lab work.

Research consistently shows that cardiovascular disease develops silently for years (often decades) before symptoms appear, which is why early risk detection and prevention is so important.

This is one of the reasons our physicians align with MDVIP: a care model that incorporates advanced cardiovascular labs, diagnostics, and comprehensive risk screenings, that have been shown to identify -40% more patients at risk for heart attack or stroke- compared to traditional testing alone.

If you’re looking for practical, science-backed ways to support your heart health, MDVIP outlines 10 meaningful steps you can start now:

If you’re ready for a more personalized, prevention-focused approach to your care (that goes beyond routine labs and sick visits) we’re here to help. ❤️

Did you know that almost 50 percent of Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease? This disease, which includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, high blood pressure and stroke, is the leading cause of death and disability in the U.S.

Happy Valentine’s Day ♥️
We LOVE our patients, & proactive heart health!

It’s American Heart Month (and almost Valentine’s Day)!

Heart health isn’t about dramatic changes or rigid routines — it’s about small, consistent choices that add up over time.

Start simple:
• Take a short walk
• Add an extra vegetable
• Call someone you care about
• Wind down before bed

Which heart-healthy habit are you committing to this week? We’d love to hear in the comments below!

2026 HSA Changes — Patient Impact

Previously, HSA eligibility was limited to High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs).

• HDHPs — lower premiums, higher out-of-pocket expenses
• Bronze & Catastrophic plans - lower premiums with higher deductibles, designed for affordability and protection against major medical expenses

__________

3 Key Changes in 2026:

1 & 2. Telehealth and DPC arrangements no longer automatically disqualify HSA eligibility
3. HSA eligibility has expanded from HDHP-only --> HDHP + Bronze + Catastrophic plans 🏅

What remains the same:

• The HSA triple-tax advantage — including the use of pre-tax funds toward qualified medical expenses, including MDVIP membership

____________

Why this matters for patients:

Expanded eligibility may allow more individuals to choose insurance coverage that aligns with their healthcare needs and financial preferences, while continuing to use pre-tax dollars toward comprehensive, proactive care.

Do these changes apply to you?

HSA eligibility depends on your specific insurance plan. Your HR team or insurance provider can help confirm whether your 2026 plan qualifies, and we can help clarify how your HSA works alongside MDVIP!
