Once you request a virtual second opinion from Penn Medicine, our team will:
- guide you through the process
- gather your medical records
- connect you with the best-suited physician specialist for your needs
- provide a comprehensive, customized second opinion plan securely delivered to the MOREHealth
- patient portal within five business days
It is a fully virtual process — no referrals, exams, or visits are required.
Our experienced team will determine which Penn Medicine specialist is most appropriate to handle your virtual second opinion.
You may submit up to five questions for our expert doctors to review when they develop your second opinion. Please make sure all your questions are included when you start the process. Additional questions cannot be added once your case begins.
You can also ask up to three clarifying questions after you get your written second opinion report.
You will receive a full written report within five business days after your records and reports have been collected and posted.
In most cases, yes. After you and your local doctor receive the second opinion, a member from the Penn Signature Services team will contact you to answer any questions and discuss next steps.
