You already have a diagnosis, a scan, or a lab result — and you want another set of eyes before you decide. Here is the honest shape of this shelf:
No free service gives you a signed specialist opinion. What free tools can do is explain a report in plain English and help you write down the questions your own doctor should answer. Everything beyond that — an AI-generated report, a radiologist's second read, a specialist's written opinion — is paid, and we list the price wherever the provider publishes one. The tiers below run from "help me understand this" to "a named specialist reviewed my case."
Before paying out of pocket, check two free routes: many insurance plans cover in-network second opinions, and academic centers sometimes review cases through your own doctor (doctor-to-doctor). A paid service below is for when those routes are too slow or closed.
FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
You upload records; an AI analysis is prepared and a licensed physician in your state reviews it and writes the second-opinion report (no prescriptions). The company states AI never releases results to you directly — a licensed provider reviews first.

Open ClearDiagnosis →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
Second reads of MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and PET-CT in two distinct forms: an AI-only report that is NOT checked by a doctor, not signed, and not a diagnosis — or a signed second opinion from a board-certified, subspecialty-matched radiologist. A free DICOM viewer and a free report simplifier are also on the site.

Open DocOrbit →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
AI-only interpretation of test results — labs, imaging, pathology, cardiology (23 test types) — using a multi-stage AI review. Read its own framing carefully: it is decision support, not a diagnosis, and no licensed physician reviews or signs the report.

Open MedAnalysisAI →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
A written second opinion on a case you submit (symptoms, history, reports, scans), delivered in about 24 hours — and the site is explicit that every assessment is generated by AI: it is not a diagnosis, not signed or reviewed by a licensed physician, and creates no doctor–patient relationship. Free patient guides and a first-aid tool are also on the site.

Open MedConsults →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
Second opinions from U.S.-licensed physicians across specialties, including radiology second reads of uploaded scans (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography) by U.S.-based board-certified radiologists, usually within 24–48 hours.

Open SecondOpinions.com →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
A fellowship-trained subspecialty radiologist — you pick from 400+, or get auto-matched — re-reads your imaging scan and issues a second-opinion report, guaranteed within 72 hours. A licensed-physician service, not AI.

Open DocPanel →FREE CHECK, PAID CARE BEHIND IT
A Cleveland Clinic specialist reviews your records and imaging and writes a personalized report with recommendations — typically about two weeks after a video intake visit with a nurse — with an optional video meeting with the physician. A licensed-physician, signed-opinion service from an academic medical center.
