Interested individuals can engage with an IMAS Healthcare Physician Consultant and express their interest in seeking a second opinion. Subsequently, with appropriate consent, the patient's medical records will be shared with The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic, followed by the scheduling of a conference call involving the Cleveland Clinic physician, IMAS Healthcare Physician Consultant, patient, and the patient’s local physician. The Cleveland Clinic physician will provide insights in the form of a written opinion to the IMAS Healthcare Physician Consultant and the patient’s local physician, who will then collaboratively determine the most appropriate course of treatment for the patient.

Grandhi expressed excitement for future collaborations reaching more patients, explaining that "We are eager to explore collaborations with healthcare organizations, insurance companies, medical concierge companies, digital health tech companies, large employers, multinational corporations and preventive health entities in India to ensure that Cleveland Clinic's renowned expertise reaches an even broader spectrum of patients throughout India.”
