I live on the far South Side, and my surgery is downtown. Do I have to come in for the clearance?

No. The visit is by video from wherever you are, and the operation remains the only journey on your calendar. Say which hospital holds your date when you book, so the paperwork is written to its standard.

My primary care is in one health system, and my surgeon is in another. Does that cause a problem?

Not for us. Your MyPreOp physician builds the picture from what you tell them during the visit rather than from a chart one system cannot share with another. If a specific record would genuinely change the decision, your physician says so and tells you where to get it.

Will a Chicago hospital accept clearance from MyPreOp?

Hospitals want an evaluation and signature from a board-certified physician, which is what you receive. Requirements do differ between facilities, so tell your physician which one holds your date, and send us their form if they use one of their own.

How quickly can you arrange this?

Most patients are seen within a few days, and the appointment is only about half an hour. Allow another two or three days if your hospital wants an EKG or bloodwork back first. Book as soon as the date is set.

Chicago, IL

Medical clearance before surgery, done online with a board-certified physician

MyPreOp provides virtual medical clearance to patients in Chicago and across Cook County. A board-certified physician reviews your health over video, orders any testing your hospital requires, and signs the clearance your surgeon is waiting on. The visit takes around thirty minutes and happens at home. MyPreOp accepts major insurance, as well as HSA and FSA payments.

Why Chicago Patients Choose MyPreOp

Booking clearance the usual way means calling a primary care office, accepting whatever slot it has, and losing most of a day to a twenty-minute appointment. Whatever the physician orders that morning sends you back out to a lab on a later date. The big systems fill their calendars with established patients first, so anyone new waits.

Chicago turns each of those steps into a journey. Someone in Beverly or out past O'Hare can lose two hours traveling to a downtown clinic and back for twenty minutes of conversation, then lose them again for the bloodwork.

MyPreOp compresses all of it into a single appointment. Your physician reviews what genuinely changes the decision and orders the testing your hospital wants. The write-up follows that hospital's requirements, and nothing depends on crossing the city.

We're able to see patients in more than 150 languages with real-time interpretation, so language is never a barrier to your care.

How the MyPreOp Process Works

Booking online doesn't lower the bar for what your hospital receives. A board-certified physician reviews the evaluation and answers afterward. Only the travel changes.

What to Expect During Your MyPreOp Appointment

An annual physical asks how you are. This appointment determines what an anesthetic will do to you. Chicago hospitals each document clearance a little differently, and your physician writes to the one performing your surgery.

For Chicago Healthcare Providers

The patients who hold up a surgical calendar are usually the ones whose primary care sits in a different system from your operating room. Neither side can open the other's chart, so somebody rebuilds the history by phone. Refer them to us and that work moves off your desk.
