SECOND OPINION SERVICES
A Better Alternative to Virtual Second Opinion Services
When your members’ health is on the line, every moment matters.
THE PROBLEM
When your members need a second opinion,
where do they start?
When someone faces a challenging health diagnosis, what matters most is that they get the right care at the right time.
Providing a typical second opinion service means giving your members a costly medical opinion based solely on medical records, not a physical exam. Then, if this results in a change in diagnosis, the member must find a new doctor and start the process all over again, delaying needed care and driving up costs.
