Have a second medical opinion at no extra cost

The Second Medical Opinion service is for our customers who would like reassurance after receiving an important medical diagnosis or treatment plan. You may feel more comfortable knowing that a team of medical experts has reviewed your case and given you their professional opinion before you commit to your treatment plan.

We provide access to this service via our partner, Teladoc Health, which is an independent organisation. Teladoc Health are experts in remote healthcare services and specialise in providing medical opinions from international experts in the relevant field, supporting you with a review of your diagnosis.

How can a second medical opinion help?

The service is designed to help with queries including:

  • What does my diagnosis mean?
  • Is my diagnosis correct?
  • Is the proposed treatment correct?
  • Is there an alternative treatment that would be better for me?

Download the MembersWorld app to get started or contact our Customer Service team.

How does the service work?

Once you request a Second Medical Opinion referral, your information will be passed onto Teladoc Health.

You will be matched with a Physician Case Manager, who will guide you through your case from start to finish.

Teladoc Health will request your medical information and reports to support your Second Medical Opinion case.

A Teladoc clinical committee will review your case and select a leading expert who specialises in your condition.

You will receive a written report from Teladoc Health within 10 working days. The report may contain recommendations for treatment, information about known alternative treatment and answers to your specific questions.

Your Case Manager will talk you through the report and explain any recommendations and answer your questions.

Does receiving this service change what treatment I am covered for?

Any information you receive is confidential between you and Teladoc Health, providers of the service. Your second opinion report is not communicated back to Sukoon or Bupa Global, or other parties in any way.

Will using this service affect my premiums in any way?
