About
Thesecondopinion is a small agency consisting of a stream-lined team that provides administrative leadership and fiscal accountability, builds deep relationships that engage private funders, and supervises and unique and compelling Medical Program.
Thesecondopinion, provided by the Regional Cancer Foundation, is completely autonomous and not an affiliate of any hospital,medical group, drug corporation or medical equipment manufacturer. We are not invested in nor do we participate in clinical research or studies. Providing free second opinions to adults in California who have been diagnosed with new or recurring cancer is the only thing we do!
We do not receive government funds, United Way support nor do will bill insurance companies. 100% of our revenue comes from private support.
The heart of our program relies upon the volunteer efforts of over sixty Board Certified physicians from eight medical disciplines whose experience in cancer treatment practice is critical to our mission and who work with a variety of recognized medial facilities.
Program
Providing second opinions to adults diagnosed with cancer is the only progam of thesecondopinion. We will help gather your medical records for pre-panel review, provide instructions on preparing for a Review Panel, and answer any question you may have about what to expect on your panel day.
Additionally, approximately 30 days after your panel day, we will mail you a follow-up survey to get your feedback about the service that we offer.
