What is the process of getting a second opinion of reading my MRI?
What is the process of getting a second opinion of reading my MRI. I am in an Advantagecare Medicare system. Should I get another Doctor within my network or try to use COE institution ? Thanks to everyone answering my questions. I hope to be an advocate as I acquire all this knowledge

If you would like to seek a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, you can either self-refer or ask your oncologist to submit a referral. I think most of your questions about how to self refer are answered here in this set of Frequently Asked Questions https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments/faq
To self refer, you can get started here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Wherever you plan to get a second opinion, you might start by calling their Billing & Insurance department to find out if they take Advantagecare Medicare.

2 Reactions@jeffmarc I ordered a second read of my most recent MRI from them. So far pretty efficient. Wondering how long it takes for them to send the results......

Here is a video about the company and procedure. That can probably answer your question.

precision prostate consulting inc. is the front end to get a Male Scan (ProstatID). Two more real world eyeballs even at a center of excellence at 4PM on Friday may not equal the digital eyes of a computer using artificial intelligence to compare thousands of other MRI images with yours. IMHO classical radiology reading will not be here much longer.
