The first thing the Personal Advocate will help you and your physician do, is submit three simple forms, which allow Best Doctors to collect all of your relevant medical information. This way they can proceed with a review of your specific medical situation.
- This information is forwarded to a team of specialists who are affiliated with the renowned Harvard Medical School in Boston. Through exhaustive research, this team will help review your case, identify the best specialist for reviewing your condition – regardless of where they are located – and make sure that no stone is left unturned, to help ensure that your diagnosis is correct and that the recommended treatment is the best.
- Based on those findings, a detailed report is sent back to you and your doctor. Your Personal Advocate will call to explain the diagnosis, recommended treatment and what your options are.
