Second Medical Opinion. In cases of frequent or long term Sick Leave, the Employer may require the employee to obtain a second medical opinion from a doctor appointed by the Employer. In the event the Employer does so, the employee will authorize their doctor to make available the required information to the doctor appointed by the Employer and shall substantiate that this has been done. Such medical reports shall be treated as confidential between the employee, the doctor, and Human Resources. The cost of a second medical opinion will be borne by the Employer.
Second Medical Opinion. In cases of long term or frequent sick leave claims, the Employer may require the employee to obtain a second medical opinion from a doctor appointed by the Employer. In this event, the employee will authorize the doctor who rendered the first opinion to make the required information available to the second doctor and shall, if requested, substantiate that she/he has given this authorization. The cost of obtaining the second opinion shall be borne by the Employer. Information imparted to the University in a medical report resulting from obtaining a second medical opinion shall be retained only in the files of the University Medical Officer.
Second Medical Opinion. Within 20 days following the execution of this Agreement, the Clubs shall provide an updated, accepted listing of medical specialists, by specialty and by geographic region, to whom Players may upon their request go for diagnosis and a second medical evaluation of an employment-related illness or injury being treated by the Club Physi- cian. At least two board-certified physicians shall be designated for each specialty in each of the geographic regions, and all the physicians on the list shall be board-certified in an appropriate medical specialty. The Commissioner’s Medical Advisory Committee, in consultation with a medical professional designated by the Association, shall review and update the list of specialists on an annual basis. The Asso- ciation shall have 30 days from the date of receiving an updated list within which to recommend additions to or deletions from the list. Prior to undergoing a “second evaluation,” a Player shall inform the Club in writing of his decision to seek a second medical opinion, and the name of the physician who will be performing the diagnosis and medical evaluation. A Player may seek a “second evaluation” from a medical specialist on the accepted listing who is located outside of the geographic region within which the Player’s Club is located, provided that the Player is not absent from the Club for an unreasonable period of time. If a Player uses the services of a medical specialist who is on the accepted listing, the Club shall pay the cost of the “second evaluation,” including transportation and hotel costs. Expenses for “second evaluations” by medical specialists who are not on the accepted listing shall be authorized and paid only by prior writ- ten agreement between the Player and the Club. See Attachment 35.
Second Medical Opinion. Members who have questions about their diag- noses, or believe that additional information con- cerning their condition would be helpful in deter- mining the most appropriate plan of treatment, may request a referral from their Primary Care Physician to another Physician for a second medi- cal opinion. The Member’s Primary Care Physi- cian may also offer a referral to another Physician for a second opinion. If the second opinion involves care provided by the Member’s Primary Care Physician, the second opinion will be provided by a Physician within the same Medical Group/IPA. If the second opinion involves care received from a Specialist, the sec- ond opinion may be provided by any Blue Shield Specialist of the same or equivalent specialty. All second opinion consultations must be authorized by the Medical Group/IPA. State law requires that health plans disclose to Members, upon request, the timelines for respond- ing to a request for a second medical opinion. To request a copy of these timelines, you may call the Shield Concierge Department at the number pro- vided on the back page of this EOC.
