Remote Medical Second Opinion Program
Simply submit all of your pertinent medical records to our Global Medicine
navigator electronically or via Federal Express. A Jupiter Medical Center
physician will thoroughly review your medical records and diagnostic tests.
In some cases, the physician may require a new pathology report as part
of the review.
After reviewing all submitted materials, the physician will provide a report
confirming the diagnosis or offering a new diagnosis based on his or her
findings. The physician will also provide additional information regarding
your condition, share details about potential treatment options, and recommend
a course or care. The remote medical second opinion will be delivered
via a telephone or a written report within seven business days of Jupiter
Medical Center receiving all of your medical records and documents regarding
your condition.
