LLR ICB will fund a second opinion
Eligibility
| LLR ICB will only fund a third opinion if It would be very unusual for a patient to require a third opinion. It is therefore ICB policy that any such request would need prior approval. · The patient with the logistical support of their GP would need to provide written justification for such a request that would be considered by the Prior approvals panel. · The fact that the patient disagrees with the two opinions already given is not regarded as justification without substantial supportive evidence · The fact that the patient did not personally like the doctors previously seen would not be a justification |
| A third opinion for the same condition requires PRIOR APPROVAL. Please follow your ICB prior approval process. |
