ClearDiagnosis today announced the launch of its AI-powered medical second opinion service, giving patients an affordable, fast way to have their medical records reviewed by advanced AI and a licensed physician in their state. Patients upload their records, the records are analyzed against national guidelines and the latest research, and a licensed physician reviews the findings and delivers a written second opinion they can share with their own doctor — with reports starting at $197 and delivered in as little as 24 hours.
The launch targets a costly and well-documented problem in American healthcare: diagnostic error. An estimated 12 million diagnostic errors occur in the United States each year — roughly one every three seconds — according to research published in BMJ Quality & Safety. Traditional second opinions, meanwhile, can cost $2,000 to $8,000 at a major medical center and take weeks to arrange.
"Patients deserve more than a rushed 15-minute appointment when something as important as a diagnosis is on the line," said William Linklater, MD, founder of ClearDiagnosis and a board-certified emergency medicine physician. "I built ClearDiagnosis so that anyone — not just people who can afford a trip to a major medical center — can have their records carefully reviewed against the best available medical evidence, with a licensed physician standing behind every report."
How it works
ClearDiagnosis is built around a four-step process designed to be simple for patients:
- Upload records — Patients submit medical records directly from MyChart, by photographing them with a phone, or by having ClearDiagnosis request them.
- AI analysis — A proprietary AI system reviews the records exclusively against validated medical guidelines, peer-reviewed research, standards of care, and expert opinion — cross-referencing more than 38 million clinical studies and guidelines.
- Licensed physician review — A physician licensed in the patient's state reviews the records alongside the AI analysis and formulates a comprehensive second opinion.
- Receive the report — The second opinion is delivered as a shareable PDF the patient can discuss with their treating physician.
The service is designed to surface misdiagnoses, errors, and new treatment options, and includes clinical trial matching that cross-references a patient's chart against active studies on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Pricing and availability
ClearDiagnosis offers three tiers, each including AI-powered analysis, a licensed physician review, and a shareable written report:
- Starter — A focused review of up to 50 pages, delivered in 24 hours.
- Comprehensive — Unlimited pages plus clinical trial matching, delivered in 24 hours.
- Premium — A board-certified specialist review for complex cases, delivered in 48 hours.
Every review is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee: if a case review does not improve a patient's understanding of their diagnosis, ClearDiagnosis refunds the payment in full.
The service is HIPAA-compliant, following the same privacy standards patients expect from a major hospital system. ClearDiagnosis is currently licensed to serve patients physically located in 10 states — Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington — with additional states planned.
ClearDiagnosis is a second opinion service only. It does not prescribe medications, and its AI-assisted analyses are reviewed and incorporated by a licensed physician before delivery. The service does not establish an ongoing physician-patient relationship and is not a substitute for a patient's treating physician or emergency care.
