What is a Second Surgical Opinion?
A Second Surgical Opinion is a procedure used to control medical costs and to help insurance companies and patients decide, whether or not, a surgical procedure that is recommended is actually necessary. A Second Surgical Opinion is also used to decide, whether or not, another different method of treatment might accomplish the same result at a lower cost. Some health policies require a second surgical opinion before certain medical procedures will be covered, and many policies pay for the second opinion.
