Who We Are:

MediGuide is an independent organization working for the welfare of a patient, in cooperation with physicians, medical centers, specialists, and payers (employers and insurance companies).

Our Vision:

MediGuide believes that everyone diagnosed with a serious medical condition stands to benefit from the knowledge and experience accumulated by physicians around the world without regard to the patient's physical location. In an age where global communications and travel are affordable to many, those who might only have one attempt to get the diagnosis and treatment right the first time, not in retrospect, should have the right to unrestricted access, efficient communications, and expert guidance in decision making, when their or their loved one's life or well-being is at stake.

Our Programs:

We offer capitated programs to insurers and employers, membership programs to affinity groups, and individual membership plans.

Our Process:

MediGuide has developed worldwide resources to efficiently, economically and expeditiously serve its Members. Upon receiving a patient or physician request, we facilitate the collection of medical records, the identification of several renowned medical centers for the patient's specific medical condition, the reviewing and analyzing of a patient's medical files, and continuous communication between all parties. The Second Opinion result is delivered directly to patient, local physician, and payer so appropriate decision making and action can be taken. (Click here to see Diagram)

MediGuide takes care of all the logistics involved in securing the Second Opinion, including providing for seamless communication between all parties involved.
