FAA / Pilots
Welcome, Pilots!
Individuals pursuing a medical certificate or those who have a medical certificate may be required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to complete a psychological or neuropsychological evaluation. These evaluations follow specific protocols that are determined by the FAA and include a variety of test measures ranging from the CogScreenAE2 to a thorough neuropsychological evaluation.
Typically, the patient’s Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) will send a referral to Dr. Stocker when an assessment by a qualified neuropsychologist is required by the FAA. However, there are times when the patient is self-referred. Dr. Stocker provides 15-minutes consultations prior to scheduling to ensure the appropriate protocol, which is determined by the FAA, is scheduled.
An individual’s medical file must be received by Dr. Stocker prior to the start of the testing process, which can take up to 6 weeks. Please contact our office for a copy of the FAA’s Request of Airman Medical Records form.
Process
Payment
These evaluations will not be reimbursed by insurance because they are not considered medically necessary. The evaluations range in time and cost depending on the reason for the evaluation and length of medical records that require review. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided prior to the service.
We require every patient to put a credit card on file at the time of scheduling. There is a $500 deposit that is paid at the time of scheduling that is applied to the final bill. The remaining fee for the evaluation will be charged the day of the evaluation.
Please contact Dr. Stocker for additional information.
