families to make serious life changing decisions. When faced with a diagnosis of
a complex medical problem, AXA Assistance USA offers the comfort of a Second Medical
Opinion from a recognized expert in the related field. A second opinion can help
ensure an individual is comfortable following a prescribed course of treatment for
their diagnosis. AXA Assistance offers access to world renowned expert opinions
from top medical specialists at recognized centers of excellence. Our medical staff
provides guidance in these complex care decisions to bring peace of mind to our
Second Medical Opinion members. With authorization from a member our doctors, nurses
and nurse case managers are involved in reviewing the diagnosis and arranging for
a second opinion with the appropriate expert. The expert will prepare a formal written
medical evaluation and recommendation for treatment on behalf of the member.
AXA Assistance USA’s Assistance Coordinators provide additional assistance with
coordination of medical appointments with the expert, organizing admission to hospitals,
making travel arrangements and lodging accommodations. We can also facilitate community
support by arranging for members of our program to speak with other members for
support and guidance.
