Psychological Evaluation for Long-Term Disability Claims
Privately retained psychological evaluations for long-term disability documentation. You retain us directly. We can coordinate with your attorney when needed, with your authorization.
Long-term disability insurers may attribute claims involving fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, POTS, long COVID, autoimmune disease, and other invisible conditions to a primarily psychological cause, potentially triggering a mental-nervous limitation. Whether that classification is accurate is a clinical question.

A Biopsychosocial Evaluation
Using the WHO International Classification of Functioning framework, the evaluation clarifies the relationship among medical condition, psychological functioning, and occupational capacity rather than isolating one component.
What This Evaluation Addresses
- Medical history, symptom course, and functional impact
- Review of medical and psychiatric records
- Standardized testing selected to the evaluation question
- Analysis of medical conditions, psychological symptoms, and functional capacity
- An opinion on whether psychological factors are primary or secondary to a documented medical condition
Who This Is For
Claimants with ERISA-governed or private LTD policies, especially those with chronic, invisible, or medically complex conditions facing a denial, cap, or reclassification, often in coordination with an ERISA disability attorney.
Objective, Independent Documentation
The evaluation is privately retained and independent. The report reflects what the records, interview, and testing support; no claim outcome can be guaranteed.
Fees
Pricing varies based on scope. Records requiring separate review are billed at $350. Insurance is not billed for disability documentation evaluations.
Scope of Service
We do not conduct insurer-contracted examinations, court-ordered evaluations, or forensic evaluations related to criminal or custody matters.
