Has Your Diagnosis Had It's Check-up? If you have been diagnosed with, or have had
suspicions of being diagnosed with, a serious illness, you may have many
questions and be confused about which treatment is best for you.
Included in your Chamber of Commerce
Group Insurance Plan® is a program called Best Doctors.
This service provides a second opinion for your peace of mind. They
will put you in touch with the best physician to specialize in your
illness from their database of 50,000 physicians in North America. They
can then confirm and sometimes change the diagnosis. Out of 15,000 case
reviews, they have revised diagnosis in 22% of cases, modified treatment
in 61% of cases, and reduced invasive surgery in 67% of cases.
