Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

How does second opinion help in cancer diagnosis or treatment?

It is often highly beneficial to seek a second opinion after receiving a cancer suspicion, diagnosis or undergoing certain cancer treatments. This not only provides reassurance but could also present alternative treatment options. Getting a second opinion might provide you with more information regarding your condition and help you better determine your next steps.

What's the difference between teleconsultation and a Navya expert's opinion?

Navya has expertise in serving patients through remote solutions and helping patients online, despite all barriers such as limited bandwidth, language, etc. Despite the doctor to patient ratio being highly stretched in India, with only about 300 specialized oncologists, Navya is able to provide expert opinions from exactly the right specialist. Our expert opinions are backed by published clinical trials and on the ground learning from patient outcome data using our machine learning systems.

How will my physician / treating oncologist react? Will they mind?

Treating oncologists are used to consulting organ specific experts when making treatment recommendations, and highly respect experts from Tata Memorial Centre and the National Cancer Grid. 50% of patients change their treatment plan to the Navya recommended plan after sharing them with their treating oncologist.

How can the doctors give an opinion without examining the patient?

An oncologist does not always physically examine a patient. Reports are sufficient; thereby making the opinion valuable to know what the best line of treatment is. In addition, Navya Patient Advocates reach out to the caregiver/patient to know complete history, including current symptoms and side effects to treatment (if any). These insights are included in the structured summary that is reviewed by experts. Users are encouraged to provide detailed information about the current condition of the patient.

Who is a patient advocate?

Patient advocates are skilled professionals who help patients and caregivers navigate the complex and often confusing healthcare system. For example, an advocate is a person who does the act of pleading or arguing in favor of something. In a similar way, a patient advocate is a liaison between patients and healthcare providers, who asks questions, structures health information and represents you.

I want to have an in-person consultation with the doctors.

Meeting multiple doctors/specialists at their availability to determine the complete treatment decision is time consuming and tedious, it can take weeks or even months. Navya attempts to provide virtual multidisciplinary tumor board decisions within 2-3 days after receiving all the relevant medical reports. With a Navya opinion, you can be assured to receive the right treatment plan from experts at Tata Memorial Centre and/or the National Cancer Grid. You can then spend money to focus on receiving the right treatment rather than visiting multiple hospitals/oncologists, consulting multiple specialities, spending long hours in queues, costs on logistics & travel just to get the treatment plan.

Can I choose a specific doctor for my online expert opinion? Will I get a one-on-one call with the experts?

All experts on the TMC NCG Navya panel have at least a decade of experience, most are professors or tenure track faculty. Navya selects the right expert for your case based on the Disease Management Group (such as breast, oral, lung, etc.), the specialization (medical, surgical , radiological), and the expert’s availability at the time. In order to do this in a timely manner and at scale, Navya is unable to disclose the name of the experts. This approach has served over 100,000 patients to date.

What's the processing fee? Is it a one time Opinion fee? For how long will it be valid?

The fee for each case is ₹11,500 + GST. This includes the expert recommended treatment plans from 300+ cancer experts from Tata Memorial Centre and National Cancer Grid and a dedicated patient advocate to answer all your questions or any further follow up questions. The fees are valid until there is a new line of treatment.
