At Lowey Psychological Services, we provide pre-surgical assessments for those seeking various medical interventions. Pre-surgical assessments are most frequently required by physicians prior to completing gastric bypass surgery and spinal cord stimulator implantation. However, there are additional medical interventions where a psychological assessment is also requested or required.
During these assessments, a licensed psychologist will conduct a clinical interview and administer psychological tests in order to arrive at an opinion about your likelihood of being a good candidate for surgical intervention. The psychologist will collaborate with your physician to ensure that all necessary documentation is provided in a thorough and efficient manner.
Though health insurance typically covers a portion of the fees associated with these evaluations, there may be additional out of pocket costs. Connect with us here to find out more about your insurance coverage and to schedule your pre-surgical assessment.
