Be clear about what you are buying

Most second-opinion services are vague about this. We would rather you knew before you paid.

What this is

  • A senior specialist reading your actual records imaging, pathology, operative notes
  • A written, signed assessment of whether the diagnosis and proposed treatment are sound
  • An answer to the specific questions you ask
  • A document you can give to your treating doctor
  • An independent view from a clinician with no relationship to your current physician

What this is not

  • Not telemedicine and not a consultation
  • Not a diagnosis, a prescription or a treatment directive
  • Not a doctor–patient relationship with the reviewing specialist
  • Not a substitute for physical examination the reviewer has not examined you
  • Not binding on any doctor, including your own
  • Not a sales route into treatment in India. Often we advise against it.

Emergencies: This service is not for urgent or emergency situations. If your condition is deteriorating, contact your local emergency services or attend your nearest hospital. We cannot help within an emergency timeframe.

The five-day clock

What happens, and when

0

You upload

Records go into an encrypted portal. You write down the three questions you most want answered.

1

Completeness check

Our coordinator checks whether the panel can actually review your case with what you have sent. If something critical is missing, we tell you within 24 hours before you are charged.

2

Panel assignment

Your case goes to a specialist in the relevant subspecialty. You are told their name, qualifications and NMC registration number.

5

Written opinion delivered

A structured, signed document in your portal: the reviewer's reading of your records, their view on the proposed treatment, their answers to your questions, and what they would want clarified.

If we cannot help, you are not charged. If the panel concludes your records are insufficient for a meaningful review, or that no specialist we have can properly assess your case, we refund in full and tell you why.

What we need from you

Imaging

MRI, CT, PET or X-ray. DICOM files where possible photographs of printed films are usually not readable enough for a specialist to rely on.

Pathology

Biopsy and histopathology reports. Where a tissue diagnosis is central, note whether slides or a paraffin block exist.

Clinical notes

Discharge summaries, operative notes, consultation letters, and the written recommendation you have been given.

Medication list

Generic names and doses. Include anything stopped in the last six months.

Timeline

A short, plain account of how your symptoms developed and what has been tried.

Your three questions

The most useful thing you can send. The opinion is written to answer them specifically.

43%

We told them not to come.

That is the share of international cases in which our panel advised the patient against travelling to India because the original plan was sound, because their own system could treat them as well, or because the risk of travel outweighed the benefit. We publish it quarterly.

Questions patients ask

How much does an online second opinion from India cost?

US$100 flat.

That covers the specialist review and the written opinion. There is no consultation fee, no per-page charge and no upsell built into the price.

Is this telemedicine?

No.

The international second opinion is a records-only preparatory assessment. There is no live consultation, no diagnosis and no prescription. This distinction is legal as well as practical it is why the service can be offered across borders.

Can the reviewing specialist speak to my own doctor?

Only with your written consent, and it is arranged case by case.

Many patients find it more useful simply to hand the written opinion to their treating doctor.

What if the second opinion contradicts my diagnosis?

Take it to your treating doctor before changing anything.

A contradiction does not mean your original doctor was wrong. Reasonable specialists reach different conclusions from the same records. Do not stop, start or alter any treatment on the strength of a remote written opinion alone.

Will you then try to sell me treatment in India?

No, and often we advise against it.

Medical travel is a separate service you would have to actively choose. The reviewing specialist is paid the same regardless of what they recommend.
