When people think about employee benefits, they often focus on prescription drugs, dental coverage, or vision care. But one of the most valuable benefits included with many Chambers Plan policies is something people hope they’ll never need—access to expert medical guidance when facing a serious diagnosis.
Through Teladoc Health Canada, eligible Chambers Plan members have access to virtual healthcare services and expert second medical opinions that can help them better understand their diagnosis and treatment options.
Why Second Opinions Matter
Receiving a serious medical diagnosis can be overwhelming. Questions arise quickly, and making important healthcare decisions isn’t always easy.
A second medical opinion can help patients:
- Better understand their diagnosis
- Explore additional treatment options
- Gain confidence before making important medical decisions
- Access specialists from across Canada
- Reduce uncertainty during stressful situations
Having access to experienced medical professionals can provide reassurance when it matters most.
A Story That Highlights the Importance
A recent episode of Discovery Series: Unplugged features Dr. Tracy Parnell, Chair of Primary Care and Rural Medicine at Teladoc Health Canada.
After experiencing a serious health crisis herself, Dr. Parnell discovered firsthand what many patients experience: uncertainty, confusion, and the need for trusted guidance throughout the healthcare journey.
The discussion explores:
- The importance of seeking a second opinion
- Why patients often struggle after receiving a diagnosis
- The value of compassionate healthcare navigation
- How better communication can lead to better outcomes
Her story offers valuable insight into why second opinion services have become such an important part of modern employee benefits.

Many employers don’t realize these services are already included as part of their Chambers Plan employee benefits package.
