A second opinion is no longer a luxury, but a necessary and proven-effective addition to any health insurance plan. In Europe, over 30 million insured individuals already have access to second opinion services through their policies — and that’s no coincidence.
Royal Doctors has been the European market leader in Second Opinion Services for over 20 years. Our digital approach is fast, reliable, and medically sound. Insured individuals receive independent advice from a top specialist within 10 working days — without waiting times and without adding pressure to the healthcare system.
Worldwide, numerous scientific publications confirm the value and necessity of second opinions. They show how often incorrect or incomplete diagnoses lead to suboptimal care. These studies can be found on our website and form the foundation of our approach.
