You have the right to receive information on available treatment options and/or alternatives. If you have difficulty understanding the options and/or alternatives, you can request the information in a language or format that you understand.

You have the right to get a second opinion from a doctor in our network or from an out-of-network doctor - if one is not available at no cost to you.

You have the right to request a copy of your medical records at no cost to you.

Your Responsibilities
