About the physician & serviceBefore you begin
Clear answers, upfront.
How is this different from a second medical opinion?
A clinical second opinion independently evaluates a diagnosis or recommends treatment. Our service explains existing written records and recommendations and helps you prepare questions. We do not decide whether you should have a procedure, reinterpret original scans, prescribe, or change treatment. If you want an independent treatment recommendation, ask your treating team for a clinical second opinion.
Does this create a physician–patient relationship?
No. Plain Spoken Health is an educational service and does not establish a treating physician–patient relationship. Your own clinicians remain responsible for diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, monitoring, and follow-up. This description does not waive any rights or duties that applicable law may impose.
What happens if I have more than 40 pages?
Please tell us before sending records. We will help identify the relevant reports and remove duplicates. We will not silently omit important material or add an overage fee. If the question cannot be addressed within 40 relevant pages, we will narrow the scope with you or decline the package. Any different service would need a separate written scope and price before you agree.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Cancel before the scheduled call starts for a full refund, even if record review has begun. If you miss the call, you may reschedule once without an extra charge or request a full refund before a replacement call starts. After a completed call, the fee is generally nonrefundable, provided we deliver the included summary. If we cancel or cannot deliver the agreed service, we provide a full refund. If we miss a confirmed call or summary deadline, you may accept a new date or request a full refund. We initiate approved refunds to the original payment method within 5 business days; your provider may take longer to post the credit. Read the full terms.
