If you have a serious medical illness or an uncertain medical diagnosis, Consult a Specialist can help you answer two basic questions: Is my diagnosis correct? and What are the best treatment options in my case?

Consult a Specialist will refer your case to one of the best specialist in the United States for you to obtain a well informed medical opinion at the time when you need it the most.

The specialists can provide a second opinion regarding the following:

• 1. diagnoses or treatment you have received.
• 2. radiology / imaging
• 3. pathology studies (e.g. biopsies)

Once you request a service from Consult a Specialist, a clinical analyst will contact you and will create a medical record with all the information and studies related to your case. After carefully reviewing your records, we will refer them to the specialist who can best answer any questions you may have regarding your diagnosis and/or treatment. Approximately ten business days after your medical record was completed, you will receive a detailed response to your questions from the specialist.
 

Consult a Specialist only provides you with the expert opinion of one of the most renowned specialists in your disease and does not intend to replace the physicians who are already treating you. Once you receive the specialist’s response, you may discuss it with your treating physician and come up with a diagnostic or therapeutic plan that reflects the most recent advances in the treatment of your disease. However, if you wish, we can work with your physician to help implement the specialist’s recommendations.
 

You will receive the specialist’s response in writing in approximately 10 business days after your medical record was completed. However, if your case requires that certain studies (e.g. biopsies) are reviewed for a second time, CSS will take the necessary time to ensure that the specialist’s response is detailed and based on the best information available.
 

We provide the specialist’s response in English. However if you wish, Consult a Specialist can translate the response in to the language of your choice.
