Your advantages

An expert second opinion is a medical service to determine whether a diagnosis is correct and the prescribed treatment reflects the current state of research and is consistent with the patient’s personal needs.

KLuG puts its insured persons in contact with a very experienced professor. The diagnosis and the reasons for the complaint will be looked into and a personal treatment proposal will be developed. An expert second opinion can help you make a decision.

  • You benefit from the knowledge of a renowned and experienced expert.
  • You will have direct access to an out-patient examination by a renowned doctor who will give you a second opinion.
  • The medical solution will be tailored to your personal needs.

If you are semi-privately insured (HOSPITAL Semi-Private, HOSPITAL PLUS, HOSPITAL PLUS BONUS, HOSPITAL PLUS CLASSICA) or privately insured (HOSPITAL Private, HOSPITAL COMFORT, HOSPITAL COMFORT BONUS, HOSPITAL COMFORT CLASSICA), you can benefit from an expert second opinion.

Please give KLuG a call, and we will put you in contact with the expert. You can reach us during office hours on +41 724 64 00, or you can contact your personal advisor.
