Health & Disability Evaluations
Disability determination consulting, pre-surgical psychological clearances, and support for individuals managing chronic illness.
About health & disability evaluations
Managing a chronic illness or navigating a disability claim requires more than a diagnosis — it requires clinical documentation that clearly connects your condition to your daily functioning. We provide psychological evaluations for individuals pursuing Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI), long-term disability insurance claims, and other disability determination processes that require documented psychological or cognitive impact.
We also perform pre-surgical psychological clearances for procedures such as bariatric surgery, organ transplant candidacy, and spinal cord stimulator implantation. These clearances evaluate psychological readiness, risk factors, and support systems — and are accepted by surgical teams and insurance carriers. For individuals living with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, neurological illness, or other ongoing health challenges, we offer psychological consultation to support coping, treatment adherence, and quality of life.

Frequently asked questions
We perform psychological evaluations for Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI) claims, long-term disability insurance, workers' compensation, and other disability determination processes. We also conduct pre-surgical clearances for bariatric, transplant, and spinal procedures. Each evaluation documents the psychological or cognitive impact of your condition in the format required by the requesting agency or provider.
A pre-surgical psychological clearance is an evaluation required by surgeons and insurance carriers before certain procedures — most commonly bariatric surgery, organ transplants, and spinal cord stimulators. It assesses your psychological readiness, support system, understanding of the procedure, and any risk factors that could affect surgical outcomes. Clearances are completed quickly and formatted to meet your surgical team's requirements.
Coverage depends on your plan and the purpose of the evaluation. Pre-surgical clearances are often covered when required by your surgeon. Disability evaluations are typically self-pay or covered by the requesting agency. We recommend calling your insurance provider with the CPT codes from your confirmation — and we are happy to provide documentation to support a reimbursement request.
