I live in New Albany, but my surgery is at a hospital in Louisville. Does that matter?

No. Your MyPreOp physician evaluates you and signs the clearance, no matter which side of the river you live on, and the documentation goes to the facility performing the operation. Tell your physician where the surgery is happening so they write to that hospital's requirements rather than to a general standard.

Can a physician really examine me over a video call?

More than most patients expect. Our virtual exams include AI-assisted digital stethoscope technology that helps our physicians detect heart murmurs and irregular rhythms in real time, and an FDA-cleared 12-lead EKG unit can reach your door overnight. If anything needs an in-person look, your physician tells you during the visit.

What exactly does my surgeon receive?

Signed pre-op documentation covering your history, your physician's findings, and any test results your facility asked for. If your hospital uses its own clearance form, send it over and your physician fills that one in rather than writing a separate letter it may not accept.

How quickly can this be done?

Most patients get a slot within a few days and finish the visit in about half an hour. Testing adds two or three days where your facility requires it, so call us once the surgery date is set and tell your physician what it is.

Medical Clearance in Louisville, KY

Why Louisville Patients Choose MyPreOp

The usual route to clearance starts with a call to a primary care office that has no opening for three weeks. You take half a day off, sit in a busy waiting room for a twenty-minute conversation, and leave with an order for bloodwork at some other address. Hospital-owned clinics around the city have the longest waits, because they schedule established patients first.

That route costs more here than it does in most cities. Louisville's metro area reaches across the Ohio River into four Indiana counties, and Census figures for Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Washington add up to roughly 262,000 residents between them. A patient in New Albany or Jeffersonville often has the operation booked at Norton, UofL Health, or Baptist Health Louisville while their own doctor practices on the Indiana side, which turns one errand into two states.

With MyPreOp, the entire review happens inside a single appointment. Your physician reviews what actually changes the decision and orders any device your testing calls for. The documentation matches what the hospital doing your operation asks for, whether that is Norton, UofL Health, or Baptist Health Louisville, so nothing sits waiting for a chart to cross the river.

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

A board-certified physician performs the evaluation and puts their signature on it, to the standard any exam room would apply. Booking online changes the address, not the medicine.

What to Expect During Your MyPreOp Appointment

Your physician covers more ground than a routine check-up because this visit must address how you will come through anesthesia. Hospitals around Louisville each want something slightly different, and your physician answers to the one holding your date.

Types of Surgery We Provide Pre-Op Clearance For

Patients in Jefferson County and across the river in Clark and Floyd come to us ahead of procedures like these.

Note: Pre-op clearance requirements vary by facility and anesthesia type. Your surgeon’s office or MyPreOp can help you confirm those details.

For Louisville Healthcare Providers

Clearance is often the last item outstanding before an operation and the slowest to move, and it slows even more when the patient's primary care is in Indiana, and your operating room is in Kentucky. A referral to MyPreOp ends your office's involvement in that step.
