Remote Second Opinion in Protontherapy

You do not need a referral from your regular doctor for a Second Opinion Consult.

The Second Opinion Consult is carried out by a multidisciplinary team and includes the preparation of a medical report, with the objectives of providing the best diagnosis, seeking the best treatment and, if necessary, assessing whether there is the possibility of taking part in any of the Clinic's active clinical trials.

The cost of the Second Opinion includes a face-to-face consultation with your specialist*.

*The consultation will be free of charge up to 3 months after the request for the second opinion.

Some insurances do cover the Second Opinion Consult.

Contact your insurance company for further details.

• The patients themselves if they are over 16 years of age.
• The legal guardian, in the case of minors under 16 years of age, or the patient's legal representative in the case of the patient being legally incapacitated.

Currently and due to the launching of the new program, the price is 465€ for the departments of Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Breast Pathology, Neurosurgery and Thoracic Surgery and 415€ for the rest of the departments.

This amount is paid when requesting the service, and includes the medical assessment and a call from the specialist for clarification.
