Our son Alexis was born with a severe heart defect. When he was six weeks old, we were told he had just a few days to live and he was discharged from the hospital to hospice care. The doctors could do no more and he was given high doses of morphine.

We thought there was no hope but our agent encouraged us to use the InterConsultation™ benefit available in our plan.

That phone call changed our lives.

The team lead by Harvard-affiliated Best Doctors’ physicians acted quickly to review Alexis’ medical records and consulted with the world’s leading pediatric heart surgeon.

The surgeon agreed with the diagnosis of Alexis’ rare condition but offered us the option of pioneering surgery to repair his heart.

This complex procedure could only be performed by a few highly-skilled surgeons, and we were talking to the world’s best.

Today our little son Alexis is laughing and playing with his brother. His heart is functioning properly and he no longer has any pain.

Our joy and our gratitude is beyond words.

Our insurance coverage allowed us to afford this surgery, gave us hope and access to the best doctors in the world.
