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?
This service is independent from your health plan with Sukoon and Bupa Global. Support and advice provided as part of the Second Medical Opinion service does not confirm that any related treatment or additional support which may be discussed would be covered under your health plan.
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?
