## Who this is for
For patients and caregivers comparing the documented review service and its access requirements.

## What they do

A nurse coordinates records collection. A matched specialist prepares a report; an optional educational session lets you discuss it.

## Access and cost

Start through the cancer second-opinion program. Confirm your diagnosis and location are accepted. Hospitalized patients are excluded.

As of October 2026, the published fee is $590 in California or $790 outside California. The program says insurance does not cover this fee.

The program aims for 4–6 business days after records collection is complete; collection can take longer.

For preparation and comparison, see my [second-opinion guide](/resources/get-a-second-opinion/).

## Questions I would ask

- Is my cancer and location covered?
- Are pathology slides or actual scans reviewed?
- What is included in the optional discussion?
