Monarch launches Second Opinion Medical Report
New product provides Canadians access to a global network of 17,000 physicians.
January 9, 2012
“Despite Canada’s exceptional medical system, individuals diagnosed with critical or life-threatening illnesses may face significant delays and challenges in securing referrals to specialists to verify their diagnosis, prognosis and most effective treatment plan,” said Joyce Usher-Mesiano, president of Monarch Intermediaries Inc.
Monarch Intermediaries now enables private insurers, employers and associations to provide second opinion services to their members as a standalone product, or as an add-on to an existing commercial or personal insurance policy. Further, Monarch’s Second Opinion Membership does not exclude coverage for individuals with pre-existing conditions or illnesses.
Quick & Confidential Service
To generate a Second Opinion Medical Report, a Monarch member’s medical records are sent electronically, through Worldcare’s secure means, to specialists who review them, confirm or modify the diagnosis, and recommend a treatment plan.
The resulting report can involve multiple physicians and specialists. For example, a member diagnosed with cancer may get a report that includes the team efforts of an oncologist, radiologist, pathologist, radiotherapist, and sub-specialist surgeon – all with a turnaround of four to five days after the medical information has been received.
The WorldCare Consortium: America’s Best Hospitals is a network of over 17,000 physicians, acclaimed specialists and sub-specialists conducting over US$2.6 billion in annual biomedical research. Institutions in the consortium include Children’s Hospital Boston, Duke University Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, Partners Healthcare System Inc., which includes Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare and UCLA Healthcare.
