I live across the water, and my surgery is in Seattle. Do I need to come into the city for the clearance?

No. Everything except the operation itself happens on the video call, from wherever you already are. Name the hospital holding your date when you book, so the documentation is cut to what that hospital asks for.

I had bloodwork done a few weeks ago. Does that still count?

Often, yes. Facilities set their own limits on how recent results have to be, and your physician will tell you during the appointment whether what you already have is enough. Bring the dates and the results if you have them, because the answer usually turns on how old they are.

My surgery is at a Swedish campus, and they use their own clearance form. Will you complete it?

Send it across, and your physician can complete that form instead of a letter the facility may turn down. Requirements differ between Seattle hospitals, so tell your physician which campus holds your date. We work through anything unusual on the form during the visit.

Medical Clearance in
Seattle, WA

Your pre-surgery clearance, handled online by a board-certified physician

MyPreOp provides virtual medical clearance to patients in Seattle and across Puget Sound. A board-certified physician reviews your health over video, orders any testing your hospital requires, and signs the clearance your surgeon is waiting on. Most visits are about half an hour, and you never leave home. MyPreOp accepts major insurance, as well as HSA and FSA payments.

Why Seattle Patients Choose MyPreOp

Clearance the conventional way means finding a primary care office with an opening, taking a weekday morning off, and sitting in a crowded waiting room for a twenty-minute conversation. Whatever that physician orders usually sends you somewhere else on another day. The large systems book established patients first, so a new patient often waits weeks for the appointment that unlocks everything else.

Seattle adds water to that problem. Washington State Ferries is the largest ferry system in the country, and the Seattle-to-Bainbridge crossing alone carried 5.2 million riders in 2025, with a 35-minute trip each way before the drive at either end. Harborview is also the only Level I adult and pediatric trauma center in Washington and takes referrals from Alaska, Idaho, and Montana, so a share of Seattle's surgical patients were never local to begin with.

MyPreOp takes the travel out of the front of that. Your physician covers the ground that decides the answer and arranges whatever testing your hospital wants. The paperwork is cut to that hospital's requirements, so there is no sailing and no parking garage.

MyPreOp is 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 virtual visit follows the same evaluation process you would receive during an in-person appointment. A board-certified physician reviews you, reaches a decision, signs, and your hospital receives the documentation it expects.

What to Expect During Your MyPreOp Appointment

This visit goes beyond a check-up because it answers how you will handle anesthesia. Seattle hospitals each ask for something slightly different, and your physician writes to the one performing your surgery.

For Seattle Healthcare Providers

Patients who travel to reach you are the hardest to clear, because every appointment ahead of the operation costs them a crossing. Referring them to MyPreOp takes that appointment out of your book.
