Expertise Travels. Patients Should Not Have To.

When the diagnosis matters,
receive an independent expert medical opinion
from a named U.S. physician.

ClaraMed™ carefully selects an appropriate U.S. physician from its curated network to perform an independent review. ClaraMed™ is not a medical provider, hospital, clinic, telemedicine service, or medical tourism operator. All treatment decisions remain between the patient and their treating physician.

Why it matters

Misdiagnosis is more common
than most people know

A second opinion is not a sign of distrust in your doctor. It is a recognised, evidence-based step that protects patients from diagnostic error — and families from making irreversible decisions based on incomplete information.

11%
of patients globally are affected by misdiagnosis — a preventable error that changes treatment outcomes
1 in 3
cancer patients discover their diagnosis or treatment plan changes after an independent expert review
76%
of patients report greater confidence in their treatment plan after an independent expert review
For patients facing a serious diagnosis
Cancer · Cardiology · Cardiac Anesthesiology · Oncology · Neurology · Rare diseases · Complex undiagnosed conditions — any situation where the stakes are high enough that one physician's opinion should not be the only one your family acts on.
For families submitting on behalf of a loved one
Many ClaraMed cases are submitted by adult children or family members on behalf of parents or relatives abroad. Family members may submit on behalf of a patient only with the patient's consent or appropriate legal authorization. ClaraMed requires the submitting party to confirm their legal authority to share the patient's medical records. ClaraMed is built to serve families and individuals with the same standard of world-class care.
How it works

Three steps from inquiry to expert opinion. No flights, no waiting rooms, no disruption to your current care.

Complete our patient intake form. You can submit as the patient or on behalf of a parent, spouse, or relative abroad. Our team reviews every case personally within 24 hours and confirms the right physician for your subspecialty, urgency, and language preference.

Our physician network

Every physician personally introduced and independently credentialed

ClaraMed is not a marketplace. No physician joins through an open application, a recruiter, or an algorithm. Every person in our network was personally introduced through a trusted network of leading US academic medical institution alumni who know their clinical work firsthand.

5
Every link in the chain is a named human relationship — never anonymous, never algorithmic
"By personal introduction only — every physician in the ClaraMed network was personally introduced by a trusted colleague who knows their work firsthand. Every case is personally accepted by the reviewing physician, by choice. No AI can replicate that."

Physicians who understand your language and cultural clinical context

An independent expert medical opinion is most valuable when prepared by a physician who understands your language and cultural clinical context. ClaraMed actively recruits physicians with native or clinical-level fluency in the patient's language — so that written opinions reflect both clinical precision and cultural understanding, not just translation.

AI-assisted precision

Human expertise. AI-enhanced.

Every ClaraMed case is pre-screened using AI-assisted review — ensuring your records are complete, structured, and matched to the right physician before a single hour of expert time is spent.

Record pre-screening
AI assists in organising and summarising your medical records, identifies potential gaps, and prepares a structured clinical brief for physician review.
Physician matching
AI scores case complexity and subspecialty requirements. Our quality oversight team personally confirms every match — human decision, AI-informed.
Translation assist
First-pass AI translation of records submitted in languages other than English — reviewed before inclusion in the physician case brief to reduce translation risk.
Completeness check
AI flags missing records before case assignment — preventing the most common delay and ensuring the physician has everything they need.
"An AI tool cannot put a named physician's signature on a clinical opinion your doctor will trust. ClaraMed gives you both — AI-assisted preparation and human expertise."
Why AI + physician beats AI alone
AI tools can summarise medical records and suggest possibilities. What they cannot do is apply decades of subspecialty clinical judgment, sign an opinion that carries medical authority, or give a family the certainty of knowing a named expert reviewed their case.
ClaraMed uses AI to make the physician's time more precise and efficient — and then delivers the expert human judgment that families, primary care physicians, and insurance providers trust and act on.
The written opinion you receive is signed by a named physician — not generated by an algorithm. That distinction matters when a family is making life-changing medical decisions.
Our mission

Expert care for you. Better healthcare for those who need it most.

We believe expert medical opinion should not be determined by geography. With every case completed, ClaraMed makes a fixed charitable donation — $250, $350, or $500 depending on your service level — to a globally recognised health charity chosen by the patient. All six charity partners are rated 4-star or above by Charity Navigator or hold equivalent international recognition.

$250–$500
