Second opinion practices offer remote medical consultations where healthcare professionals review existing diagnoses, test results, or treatment plans and provide an independent clinical perspective without assuming ongoing care responsibility. These services typically operate digitally, reviewing medical records and imaging provided electronically. Insurance considerations for second opinion practices are distinct from primary care providers, as the insured does not establish a traditional doctor-patient relationship or provide ongoing management. Coverage must address professional liability for advice provided based on incomplete information, potential disputes with primary treating practitioners, and clear limitation of the advisory scope. In Australia, second opinion providers must clearly communicate their role to avoid creating implied ongoing care obligations, with insurance policies specifically addressing the limited nature of the advisory relationship whilst ensuring adequate protection for the clinical opinions rendered.
