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

## What they do

A written specialist opinion. This online program does not include a physician phone or video appointment.

## Access and cost

An existing diagnosis is required. As of October 2026, exclusions include head and neck oncology, patients in Maine, hospitalization and hospice/palliative care. Check the full eligibility list.

As of October 2026, the fee is $975. Most insurance plans do not cover it; Stanford cannot submit claims or provide CPT codes for this service.

The published estimate is 7–10 days after all records arrive.

## Questions I would ask
