In December 2021, the Best Doctors services was added to the AIA Judiciary Insurance Scheme, for no cost, to the members. I have had a few enquiries about Best Doctors of late, coupled with a request from a staff member at Lifetime for a reminder about this wonderful service. This has led me to do a recap and a reminder about the benefits of it and how to access it.
A recap — Best Doctors in brief:
Best Doctors was established over 30 years ago by two Harvard medical professors who had the vision of connecting people, regardless of location, with leading experts from around the world.
It is a global service that gives confidence, clarity, and certainty when facing a medical condition by remotely connecting members with leading local and global medical specialists to provide diagnosis and treatment plans. Members don’t need to be on a claim to access the Best Doctors service. They can use it at any time, anywhere, and as often as they need it for no extra cost, and it’s completely confidential. If a member or their family (partner, children, parent, or in-laws) faces a mental or physical condition (from minor to major) they can connect with specialist doctors to:
• Conduct an in-depth medical review (i.e., a second opinion from a global expert)
• Confirm a diagnosis
• Help decide treatment options (or again, give a second opinion from an expert)
• Check information they’ve been given by their doctor
• Receive quick answers to basic health questions
