Beyond the Psych Clearance

Behavioral infrastructure for bariatric & medical weight loss programs

Nurocoach integrates behavioral readiness, daily engagement, and coordinated care into your bariatric workflow — reducing delays, improving outcomes, and creating new revenue without adding staff.

Why Bariatric Programs Are Changing

Bariatric programs are navigating a new reality:

  • GLP-1s are reshaping patient demand and expectations
  • Behavioral readiness still determines outcomes — regardless of treatment path
  • Coordinators are managing more complexity with fewer resources
  • One-time psych clearances don’t support long-term success

Nurocoach provides the missing behavioral layer that supports surgery, GLP-1s, and medical weight loss across the full patient journey.

Integrated Support Across the Bariatric Journey

Psychosocial Clearance

Structured, evidence-based evaluations delivered in under 7 days. Clear surgical recommendations with documented rationale.

Sleep Studies & Readiness

Screening and coordination for sleep apnea and fatigue-related risk. Results incorporated directly into clearance decisions.

Pre-Op Behavioral Stabilization

Targeted intervention for adherence, anxiety, and eating behaviors. Stabilizes patients before surgery — not after complications.

Post-Op Continuity

Ongoing behavioral support during recovery and identity transition. Improves adherence and reduces post-op attrition.

What Nurocoach Delivers

  1. Frictionless Intake
    Patients enter through a QR-based workflow that removes back-and-forth scheduling and establishes behavioral care early.
  2. Standardized Behavioral Readiness Pathways
    Patients enter through a QR-based workflow that removes back-and-forth scheduling and establishes behavioral care early.
    • Who is ready (Green)
    • Who needs support (Orange and Yellow)
    • Who requires stabilization—before delays occur (Red)
  3. Continuous Behavioral Engagement
    Daily, low-burden check-ins support adherence across surgery, GLP-1s, and medical weight loss — without adding coordinator workload.

How Nurocoach Integrates Into Your Workflow

QR-based intake replaces coordinator phone calls

EMR-ready behavioral summaries support faster decisions

Continuous engagement reduces drop-off between visits

Care escalates only when clinically and financially appropriate — including sleep evaluation when indicated

Nurocoach works alongside your existing team — no new hires, no workflow disruption.

New Revenue Without New Staff

Nurocoach enables bariatric practices to capture recurring revenue from behavioral coordination that is already happening — while improving patient outcomes.

  • Eligible patients can be supported through Collaborative Care Management
  • Your practice bills under your NPI
  • Nurocoach supplies psychiatric oversight, care managers, and documentation

A detailed revenue model is available in the Bariatric Engagement Model.

More Than a Psych Clearance

Traditional psych clearances answer one question at one moment in time.

Nurocoach provides:

  • Ongoing behavioral engagement
  • Early risk identification
  • Support through surgery, GLP-1s, and transitions between them

This is behavioral infrastructure.
