Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 14, 2026

Welcome to Calculated Practice. These Terms of Service govern your use of the website and evaluation services provided through this platform. By using this website and purchasing an evaluation, you agree to the terms described below.

1. Services Provided

Calculated Practice provides brief clinical evaluations for the purpose of determining whether documentation may be appropriate for certain requests. These services may include evaluations related to:

• Bariatric Pre-Surgery Psychological Evaluation

The services offered through this website are limited to clinical documentation evaluations and do not include ongoing therapy, treatment, or medical care.

2. Eligibility

To use this service, you must:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Be physically located in Pennsylvania or California at the time of the evaluation
• Provide accurate and truthful information during the evaluation process

Calculated Practice reserves the right to deny services if eligibility requirements are not met.

3. Payment and Evaluation Fees

Payment is required before beginning the evaluation process.

Payment covers the clinician’s time reviewing submitted information and conducting the evaluation. Payment does not guarantee approval.

All payments are processed securely through a third-party payment processor.

4. Refund Policy

All evaluation fees are non-refundable once the evaluation has been submitted.

If the evaluation is canceled prior to clinical review, a refund may be issued at the discretion of Calculated Practice.

Because the service involves professional time reviewing submitted information, payment covers the evaluation itself and not the outcome of the evaluation.

5. Evaluation Outcomes

After reviewing the submitted information, the clinician may determine that:

• documentation supporting the request is clinically appropriate
• documentation supporting the request is clinically appropriate with reservations
• documentation is deferred pending resolution of identified concerns
• documentation supporting the request is not clinically appropriate

The documentation issued reflects the clinician’s professional opinion based on the information provided during the evaluation.

Third parties such as doctors, surgeons, or medical providers ultimately determine whether to grant requested surgical procedures.

The evaluation is based on self-reported information and clinical interview at a single point in time and does not constitute a guarantee of surgical approval or outcome.

6. Third-Party Communication

Calculated Practice does not communicate directly with surgeons, clinical staff, or other third parties. Documentation is provided solely to the client for their use.

Documentation generated through the evaluation process is provided solely to the client.

If a third party requires additional documentation or verification, the client is responsible for handling those communications.

7. External or Organization Forms

Clients may send external or organization-specific documentation forms via email for review. Review of external forms is considered an add-on service.

Calculated Practice reserves the right to decline completing forms that:

• require extensive documentation outside the scope of the evaluation
• require ongoing monitoring or follow-up reporting
• require direct communication with third parties

Completion of external forms does not alter or override the clinician’s independent findings or recommendations.

8. Accuracy of Information

Clients are responsible for providing accurate and truthful information during the evaluation.

Calculated Practice reserves the right to deny documentation if information provided is incomplete, inconsistent, or appears intentionally misleading.

9. Limitation of Liability

Calculated Practice provides evaluations and documentation based on professional judgment using the information provided by the client.

Calculated Practice is not responsible for decisions made by doctors, surgeons, clinics, courts, or other third parties regarding requests supported by documentation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Calculated Practice shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of this service.

10. Privacy

Client information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy available on this website. By using this service, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to These Terms

Calculated Practice reserves the right to update these Terms of Service as needed. Any changes will be posted on this website with an updated effective date.
