Second Opinions The Member may access a second opinion from a Network Provider regarding a medical diagnosis or treatment plan. The Member may request Preauthorization or may visit a KFHPWA-designated Specialist for a second opinion. When requested or indicated, second opinions are provided by Network Providers and are covered with Preauthorization, or when obtained from a KFHPWA-designated Specialist. Coverage is determined by the Member's EOC; therefore, coverage for the second opinion does not imply that the services or treatments recommended will be covered. Preauthorization for a second opinion does not imply that KFHPWA will authorize the Member to return to the physician providing the second opinion for any additional treatment. Services, drugs and devices prescribed or recommended as a result of the consultation are not covered unless included as covered under the EOC.
Second Medical Opinions Members are entitled to a second medical opinion when disputing the appropriateness or necessity of a surgical procedure, or when subject to a serious injury or illness.
