Tips

The facility must provide the physician providing the second opinion with access to the patient and their records.
If the physician providing the second opinion recommends a different treatment plan, then the director/authorized physician will review the recommendation and will choose whether or not to authorize changes to the current treatment plan (but there is no obligation to do so).
