Scottish Widows has added Best Doctors, the expert medical second opinion service, to its life insurance policies.
The service is available to customers, their spouse/civil partner and their children, at no extra cost.
Customers do not need to make a claim in order to access the service, providing they are suffering from any condition of a chronic, critical or degenerative nature or one that substantially affects their quality of life and requires hospital investigations.
