2ND SURGICAL CONSULTATION
If a surgeon recommends elective surgery for a member or his/her
covered dependents, the individual can obtain a Second Surgical Opinion from a
highly trained Specialist at no cost to the member. Simply contact the Health
and Security Plan’s Second Surgical Consultation Unit at 212-815-1354/1355 and
we will schedule an appointment for the member or dependent with a highly
trained Specialist. The Specialist will examine the records and the individual
and indicate whether he/she agrees that the operation should be performed.
There is no obligation to accept the recommendation of the Specialist who
provides the Second Opinion. The ultimate decision on whether to have the
operation will be made by the member or his/her dependent. Effective
Feel free to contact the Health & Security Plan Inquiry Unit at
212-815-1234 if you have any questions relating to the benefit.
