Prices for specialist care depend on your diagnosis and treatment, so they’re given after the second opinion.
Before you decide
- Keep your own doctor involved and share the second opinion with them.
- Most US health insurance doesn’t cover treatment abroad. Ask us about insurance that covers medical travel and medical evacuation.
- Plan how follow-up care will work once you’re home.
