The healthcare space is changing rapidly, and that includes vendors that service vital niche roles such as expert second opinions. That is where MORE Health shines. An expert second opinion can in some cases show that a less costly treatment path is the right one, or even that the diagnosis was wrong from the start.

Decrease healthcare costs by minimizing unnecessary overtreatment and reducing waste due to the treatment of misdiagnosed conditions.

Employee Benefit Success Story

Jeff had been suffering from shortness of breath, heart palpitations and nausea for several months. He visited a local cardiologist who diagnosed him with coronary artery disease. Jeff's best chance of preventing a heart attack was to have a stent inserted into one of his arteries.

Jeff activated his MORE Health Employee Benefit, and his case was reviewed by a leading cardiologist, who determined Jeff did not need a stent. Following lifestyle modification Jeff's symptoms disappeared, and he returned to work without undergoing an expensive, invasive completely unnecessary procedure and saved his Employer up to $61,184.
