This can lead to better care options, with 87% of consultations from 2nd.MD leading to improved treatment plans.
2nd.MD is available at no cost to your employees and their eligible dependents when they're enrolled in a healthcare plan with this benefit.
How it works
Once your employees or their eligible dependents activate their 2nd.MD account by phone or through the mobile app, they can request a consultation.
They'll speak with a nurse to see if a second opinion is right for them. 2nd.MD handles the rest, including finding the right specialist and setting up a virtual consult.
Your employees get personalized advice about their diagnosis and treatment plan from a specialist as well as healthcare decision support. Virtual visits are available when it’s convenient, including nights and weekends.
