The Best Doctors service has been added to critical illness, life and income protection policies from Scottish Widows .
The addition of this service, which is an independent UK-wide list of leading medical specialists selected by their peers as being the best in their field, will enable individuals and their families to get the best medical opinions across a wide selection of conditions and illnesses at no extra cost.
Each case is assigned a dedicated case manager who is a qualified medical professional. The case manager gathers all the relevant medical information and sends it to an expert who evaluates and provides a full report covering diagnosis and all treatment options.
Clive Allison of Scottish Widows said: "Illness can strike an individual at any time and the effect on families physically, mentally and financially can be enormous, therefore the need for critical illness cover is extremely important. With the addition of the Best Doctors service we want to offer our customers something extra to ensure they receive the most accurate diagnosis and are getting the most appropriate treatment."
