If you or your dependents are diagnosed with a life-changing or life-threatening condition, you want the best care you can get. Through GE's “Expert Medical Opinion” program, you can request a second opinion from some of the country's leading medical experts at The Cleveland Clinic and Partners Online Specialty Consultations (affiliates of Harvard Medical School, including Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's).
With Expert Medical Opinion, you become a patient of a top specialist, without waiting weeks for an appointment or traveling far from home. GE covers the full cost of these services for employees and their dependents enrolled in a GE Medical Care Option.
A second opinion from these medical leaders can confirm or alter a diagnosis or treatment plan, and help you make the best decisions for managing your condition. You'll receive a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, along with treatment recommendations – just as if you saw the doctor in person.
With either Expert Medical Opinion program, you begin online at the program’s Web site, where you will be guided step-by-step through the process.
GE only covers this service for US based employees and dependents that are currently enrolled in a GE Medical Care Option (GE Health Care Preferred, GE Medical Benefits, a GE-offered HMO or a GE Alternative Health Plan).
Gathering as much third-party information about your condition as possible makes you a more informed health-care consumer. The following Web sites and organizations may be helpful in researching your disease or condition.
