Best Doctors Services

The mandate for Best Doctors is to support (not replace) the ongoing relationship between the patient and physician as well as assist in making an informed decision in regards to the patient's health.
 

INTERCONSULTATION ® 

Medical advice and Treatment planning

Confirmation of Diagnosis?
Finding and obtaining the appropriate treatment?

From the moment the physician diagnoses the patient with one of the critical illnesses covered by Harmony, the client can send the medical file to Best Doctors. An in-depth review of the client's medical files will be completed to assist in the confirmation of the diagnosis and to help develop a feasible treatment plan.

The client and the physician will have access to the latest technologies and opinions of world renowned specialists.



With an efficient and detailed turnaround of results, the InterConsultation process can reduce potentially serious complications that result from a misdiagnosis and help the treating physician determine the proper course of action for their patient.

FINDBESTDOC ® 

Identify the best physician(s)

Where can we find the best medical center for the treatment?
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the client has the opportunity to use Best Doctors services again to find the top medical experts or medical facilities for the required treatment. This entails a detailed search across the globe using a constantly updated database of over 50,000 specialists who are most qualified to address the client's specific medical needs.


The client will have access to a personal advocate, who will work with physicians affiliated with the world's leading medical institutions, to help explain their options and determine the best care provider for their specific condition. The client also receives detailed information on what they need to know about the recommended specialists, including:
 

  • Location (clients can also select the country in which they receive their treatment)
  • Professional background
  • Availability
  • Level of experience in the relevant medical field
     

FINDBESTCARE®  

Care management

Accessing physicians and medical facilities?
While the client is receiving medical attention and care, Best Doctors will review the necessary information provided by the medical specialists involved and continually monitor the treatment process to help ensure the client's medical priorities are satisfied.

If the client travels away from home to receive treatment, Best Doctors will assist with reservations and accommodations for the client and family.

This may help reduce the stress of receiving medical care away from home. The client receives access to a Best Doctors Personal Advocate for any of the services. The Personal Advocate is responsible for communicating with the doctors reviewing the client's case as well as keeping the client's informed of the progress and providing them with any guidance during their time of need.
