Employee healthcare navigation brand Transcarent has officially announced a new partnership with The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic, a joint venture with telehealth company Amwell, to expand access to medical specialists.
According to an official press release, Transcarent members will gain access to 3,500 specialists in more than 550 advanced subspecialties for expert second opinions on diagnoses and to confirm treatment plans via the partnership, and the service will be offered as Transcarent benefit.
In many cases, this will be with no out of pocket costs associated.
“When surgery or complex care is being delivered and it’s serious, everyone should get a second opinion, both on their diagnosis and their treatment plan,” said Jeff Dobro, M.D., Transcarent chief innovation officer said in a statement.
