{"title":"Mass General Brigham","summary":"Remote written specialist consultations requested with your treating physician, including cancer second opinions.","body":"## What they do\n\nAn expert reviews the file and writes a consultation letter. Your treating doctor participates and receives the report before it is released to you. The program lists a typical ten-business-day turnaround after information is received.\n\n## Who it’s for\n\nPeople with complex diagnoses or treatment questions, including cancer, whose treating physician can participate.\n\n## How to start\n\nRegister with your physician and arrange the required records, imaging and pathology materials.\n\n## Cost and insurance\n\nFees depend on the requested services and are the patient’s responsibility. Ask for the total before proceeding.\n\n## What to check\n\nAs checked in October 2026, online opinions exclude Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wyoming. This is a written consultation, not a patient video appointment.\n\n## How it fits\n\nDana-Farber’s adult online opinion uses a separate program. Do not assume its intake rules, fees or geography apply to Mass General Brigham.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n- Which specialist would review my cancer and the decision I am facing?\n- Does the review include rereading the actual scans and pathology, or only their reports?\n- What will I receive, and how can my oncologist ask follow-up questions?\n\n## Contacts\n\n- Online second opinions: [Mass General Brigham](https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/find-care/second-opinion)\n- Cancer appointments and referrals: [Massachusetts General Hospital](https://www.massgeneral.org/cancer-center/appointments-and-referrals)","topics":["expert-support"],"capabilities":["second-opinions"],"organizationType":"academic-center","services":["expert-review"],"secondOpinion":{"coverage":"broad","focus":[],"summary":"Remote written specialist consultations requested with your treating physician, including cancer second opinions.","details":"As checked in October 2026, online opinions exclude Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Wyoming.
