Hello @stan123 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I see that you are interested in information about obtaining a brain scan. As you posted in the NETs discussion group, I'm wondering if you have a history of NETs (neuroendocrine tumors).
no

2 ReactionsI appreciate your response, @stan123. I would like to see you connected with the appropriate discussion group. In order to do that can you provide a bit more information about your interest in a brain scan? Have you had one already? Have the results been posted?
Hi @stan123, I believe you are asking about how to get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic experts to interpret the results of an MRI brain scan. To request a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, please start by calling Mayo Clinic or submitting a request using the online form. You'll find both phone numbers and the online form by clicking this link: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Let me know if you have additional questions.

1 ReactionI'm on original Medicare Plan F. Was told Medicare may not cover telehealth 2nd opinions.
1) anyone know will Medicare cover a 2nd opinion tele-health?
2) approximate cost of 2nd opinion from Mayo?
3) will a team of Physicians review my MRIs and Myelogram; or just one?
