Second Opinions

Second opinions offer a different perspective on a condition that has previously been assessed. By asking a different physician to look at your case, you may learn new ways to treat your condition or simply obtain reassurance that your current treatment plan is the most appropriate.

Second opinion appointments are usually covered by health insurance, but we recommend that you contact your health insurance provider to verify prior to scheduling an appointment. You may also contact the Massachusetts General Hospital Financial Services Office at 617-726-2191 for additional assistance.

The Fireman Vascular Center nurse coordinator will provide a fax number. Please fax all prior medical information, including:

• Medical history and past physical examination results
• Medication list
• Lab test results, such as cholesterol, blood sugar and kidney function
• Vascular ultrasound or blood pressure cuff test results
• Images and reports from CAT scans, MRI scans and angiograms
• Any procedure or operative reports
