Specialty E-consults

Partner's Healthcare in Boston has made it happen and even breaks down how much a second opinion might cost you:

The total cost of your consultation will depend on which services are chosen and the number of studies that are evaluated by our specialists. You may speak with a Consultation Coordinator to estimate your costs before your case is submitted and actual costs can be defined after your material is received.

The components of the total cost could include:

Specialist Opinion: $495 each
Radiology Review: $200 each
Pathology Review: $250 each

Welcome to the new world of on-line specialty consultation and these guys are demonstrating how being first-to-the-e-market can benefit large health care systems.
