There are plenty of reasons you might want a bit of reassurance, particularly when you have a medical issue overseas. You might like to speak to a doctor in a language of your choice to clarify the details of a diagnosis or fully understand the side-effects of the medication you’ve been prescribed. Maybe you need advice on where the best local healthcare facilities can be found. Or perhaps you just feel a long way from the comforts of home and simply want a medical professional by your side to guide you through your treatment. Whatever your situation, and wherever you are in the world, the Second Medical Opinion service can provide the support and reassurance you need.
All you need to do is get in touch via the Virtual Care from AXA portal or app and you’ll be assigned a doctor to act as your dedicated Case Manager for as long as you need their help and guidance. They’ll be in touch within 24 hours of your initial enquiry to discuss your concerns and get any available information, reports, prescriptions and test results. Supported by a network of over 50,0002 specialists, they’ll review your case before getting back in touch with their recommendations and to discuss next steps. If they refer you for further treatment, your Case Manager will ensure you have all the details you need to check you’re still covered under your plan, and they’ll monitor your progress and support you for as long as you need them.
