Psychiatric Clearance Evaluations for Surgery

If your surgeon or medical facility requires a psychiatric evaluation before surgery, AlviPsych provides a structured, clinician-led clearance process with standardized documentation for common surgical and implant procedures.

Start HerePatient-focused illustration representing psychiatric clearance evaluations required before surgery and implant procedures.

A psychiatric clearance evaluation is a one-time mental health assessment requested by a surgeon, hospital, or medical program before certain surgeries or implantable procedures. The goal is to document mental health stability, readiness factors, and any clinically relevant considerations that may affect surgical planning, recovery, or long-term outcomes.

This evaluation focuses on pre-operative readiness and documentation, not ongoing psychiatric treatment.

NOTE: Requirements vary by program and facility. Your surgeon or care team determines whether psychiatric clearance is required.

If the evaluation identifies factors that require follow-up before surgery or implantation, your report will outline clear recommendations. These may include stabilization, additional documentation, or coordination with your existing healthcare providers.

The goal is to support safe surgical planning, not to delay care unnecessarily.
