If you have a chronic condition but have been unable to get a diagnosis despite the efforts of multiple doctors, we understand the challenges you face. You may have a rare disorder that other doctors aren’t familiar with. Or you could have a condition that is difficult to diagnose. Our multi-disciplinary team at Cedars-Sinai is dedicated to providing you with a path toward diagnosing these rare conditions.
Get Started
We’ll call you within one business day to schedule an intake assessment with your assigned nurse coordinator.
Your nurse coordinator is an advocate who will walk you through the process and provide personalized service. You’ll work along with your nurse coordinator to collect your previous medical records and prepare them for the Undiagnosed Conditions program’s consideration.
Once you submit your medical records, our team will review them to make sure they are complete. If anything is missing that would be important to consider in determining your eligibility for the program, we will contact you to let you know, and partner with you to collect necessary items.
Once we have all your records, the information will be reviewed and presented to the program’s multi-disciplinary panel of medical professionals to determine whether Cedars-Sinai may be able to offer services to assist with understanding your condition. This is to ensure the Undiagnosed Conditions program is the right choice to move forward. If we determine that we may be able to offer services to assist with understanding your condition, we will move forward with the review process and you will ultimately receive a written report summarizing a path toward achieving a diagnosis.
Your written Undiagnosed Conditions program report is a personalized resource based on the multi-disciplinary panel consideration of your case. This report will include our recommendations for you to consider in proceeding to a path to obtain a diagnosis. After you receive your report, you will have an opportunity to talk with the physician leader of the Undiagnosed Conditions program about what tests and services are available if you decide to seek healthcare services at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
