INTERCONSULTATION® CASE

During the 24th week of gestation, the Anderson family received unexpected health news regarding their unborn son’s heart: he had a congenital condition called “transposition of valves”. The Andersons relied on the support of Best Doctors to confirm the most appropriate treatment plan.

“We contacted Best Doctors Insurance to request the InterConsultation™ service. A few hours later, a representative contacted us to begin the process of collecting our son’s medical records. We also requested access to a specialist in our son’s condition — 48 hours later we were consulting with a top pediatrician in the United States.

“If it weren’t for the diagnosis during the pregnancy, our baby would not have had the same treatment options. Best Doctors Insurance offered us the support we needed to quickly secure the best care for our baby. It was a miracle that he was born and that he made it through the catheterization. Thank you Best Doctors Insurance, from the bottom of our hearts.”
