A “second opinion platform,” which allows patients to question their radiologists’ findings, has expanded to 12 states, the company announced Tuesday.

MDView first launched in its home state of Florida over the summer and is now ramping up its rollout. As part of the announcement, the Cooper City-based tech company has inked a new partnership with Modern Teleradiology to provide second opinion reports and video consultations to its users.

Sunil Kini, MD, founder and CEO of the remote reading group, will serve as medical director of MDView, helping oversee the platform’s expansion.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with MDView as both organizations share the same 'patient first' vision," Kini said Dec. 5. “These days, patients are more empowered regarding their own health. To that end, MDView's second opinion platform aims to give patients more transparency when it comes to making decisions regarding their own well-being.”

Along with Florida, the company will now offer second opinions in New York, Texas, California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois, Georgia, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee and Canada. Leaders indicated back in June that MDView hoped to eventually expand nationwide.

The service lets individuals securely upload medical image files and records. They then can match up with independent, subspecialized physicians who review the information. Patients can pick their preferred radiologist, with the option to also add a video consultation. Doctors working for MDView have access to a standard DICOM and medical record viewer within the tech company’s prioritized work list. The vendor contracts with other outside teleradiology groups such as Transparent Imaging, which reads about 500,000 exams annually.
