Pre-surgical testing, EKG, and blood work in NYC
Pre-surgical tests are selected for the planned procedure and the patient's health, not ordered as one universal panel. Bring written orders so the evaluation matches the surgeon's checklist.
A pre-op medical evaluation reviews health history, medications, current symptoms, and findings relevant to the planned procedure. The surgeon, anesthesiology team, and facility set the final requirements and decide whether surgery should proceed. Abnormal findings or incomplete records can require follow-up before documentation is finalized.
Bring the complete surgical instructions
Confirm the required forms, tests, deadline, accepted result dates, and where documentation should be sent before the appointment.
The required tests come from the surgical team and the clinical evaluation
Testing is based on the surgeon's orders, procedure, health history, age, symptoms, and clinical judgment. Possible requests can include blood counts, metabolic or coagulation tests, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, an EKG, or chest imaging. Not every patient needs every test, and some testing may require a separate lab, imaging center, or specialist.
- Do not assume every surgery requires the same blood work, EKG, or imaging.
- Confirm whether outside results are accepted and how recent they must be.
- Allow time for lab processing, imaging, repeat testing, and specialist review when needed.
Important details before the appointment
Blood tests
Orders may include a blood count, metabolic testing, glucose, kidney or liver measures, or coagulation studies depending on the clinical need.
EKG
An EKG may be requested based on age, health history, symptoms, procedure, anesthesia plan, or facility protocol.
Urine testing
Urinalysis or pregnancy testing may be requested for some procedures or clinical situations.
Chest imaging
A chest X-ray is not routine for every patient. If ordered, confirm where it can be completed and how the report reaches the surgeon.
Outside records
Recent test results may be useful only when the surgeon accepts the source, date, and report format.
Abnormal results
Unexpected findings can require repeat testing, treatment, a specialist opinion, or a change in the surgical plan.
Possible parts of pre-surgical testing
The surgeon's orders and the clinical evaluation determine what is appropriate. A blanket panel is not required for every patient.
| Evaluation or test | Why it may be requested | Important detail |
|---|---|---|
| History and exam | Health conditions, current symptoms, prior surgery, anesthesia history, allergies, medicines, vital signs, and focused examination. | The clinical evaluation determines whether more records or follow-up are needed. |
| Blood work | Possible blood count, metabolic, glucose, kidney, liver, or coagulation tests when ordered. | The exact panel depends on the procedure and clinical context. |
| EKG | May be requested based on age, heart history, symptoms, anesthesia plan, procedure, or facility protocol. | Confirm availability and bring the written order. |
| Urine testing | Urinalysis or pregnancy testing may be requested in selected situations. | Not every patient needs urine testing. |
| Chest imaging | A chest X-ray may be ordered for a specific clinical or procedural reason. | Imaging may require a separate facility; routine imaging is not assumed. |
| Specialist records | Cardiology, pulmonology, or other specialist input may be requested for certain conditions or findings. | Allow time for outside reports before the paperwork deadline. |

Review clinic details Book and confirmPrice and insurance
The published self-pay price for the pre-op medical evaluation visit is $175. Laboratory work, EKGs, imaging, vaccines, specialist reports, and other requested services are separate when needed. Bring the surgeon's checklist so the team can identify likely add-on costs before work is performed.
Many major insurance plans are accepted for eligible medical visits. Coverage for a pre-op evaluation, administrative forms, laboratory work, an EKG, imaging, or other surgeon-requested services varies by plan and medical necessity. The team can review benefits before the visit, but the insurer makes the final coverage decision.
