Trend: ER Visits After Drinking May Cost You

alcohol 

Up to half of the people who are treated at hospital emergency departments and trauma centers in the U.S. are under the influence of alcohol, experts say. But laws in more than half the states permit insurers to deny payment for medical services related to alcohol or drug use. Expect more states to follow with this exclusion as carriers try to hold medical costs down.

 The Power of Second Opinions for Cancer Patients
is Peace of Mind

ORNOA introduces Second Look

 

When it comes to cancer treatments, some doctors are more conservative and others more aggressive. One doctor may come up with a distinct treatment option, another may have a very good reason for ruling out that option. The truth is that cancer is an individualistic disease, and there is no one size fits all treatment for cancer.  Second Look will focus on confirming a cancer diagnosis and reviewing the most effective options and up to date treatment for that specific cancer.

 

Second Look will provide access to a team of independent Board Certified oncology specialists in South Florida, many Fellowship trained in a specific oncology area.   Specialists include:  hematology, medical oncology, radiation oncologist, radiology, oncology surgeons, urologists,  gastroenterologist and others who can review a case. The second opinion can take place by either arranging for a consultation with the doctor, or if the person cannot travel, we can arrange for the medical records, and images to be reviewed and have the oncology specialist render his/her opinion in writing.
