Imagine you were diagnosed with a serious illness? How much would you value a second opinion from one of the world’s leading doctors?
If you have a policy with Aviva, you have access to just that.
Best Doctors from Aviva gives you access to a second opinion from the world’s leading medical practitioners.
It’s included in all Aviva policies and can be used by you, your children and your parents.
It can even be used for conditions diagnosed before you took out your Aviva policy.
So, if your parents have medical issues, they can get a second opinion immediately.
Our parents are not getting any younger, so it’s important we can help them if they do get sick, just like they helped us when we were in need.
