Military Behavioral Health Evaluation – Accession & Administrative Reviews

This service provides independent Behavioral Health evaluations for individuals undergoing U.S. military accession, retention, readiness, or administrative review processes.

Evaluations are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant, synchronous audio-visual telehealth platform and are designed to provide clinically grounded information for military medical or administrative decision-making.

What This Evaluation Is — and Is Not

This evaluation is intended to:

• Provide a thorough, clinically informed assessment

• Clarify mental health history, current functioning, and relevant risk factors

• Offer professional clinical insight that may assist military reviewers in evaluating waiver or administrative decisions
  
  

This evaluation is not:

• A guarantee of accession, retention, or waiver approval

• Advocacy intended to conceal, minimize, or misrepresent disqualifying factors

• A substitute for required military medical examinations or final determinations

The purpose is not to circumvent standards dishonestly, but to ensure that decisions are informed by accurate, contextualized clinical information when a waiver or further review is appropriate.

In suitable cases, a well-documented evaluation may help reviewers better understand:

• Symptom history and resolution

• Functional capacity

• Risk assessment

• Clinical relevance of prior diagnoses or treatment
  
  

Independent, Ethical, and Clinically Grounded

All evaluations are conducted independently and ethically using:

• Clinical interview via secure telehealth

• Review of relevant personal and mental health history

• Professional clinical judgment

Findings and opinions reflect the evaluator’s independent assessment and do not guarantee any specific outcome.
