Yes, I have. However, my HIMS evaluations was conducted for alcohol & substance abuse. Although I was not medically certified, I discovered a lot about who "atpwannabe" really is. IMHO, the journey was worth its weight in gold and resonates more with me than the destination.

But...that's a horse of a different color. Back to addressing the topic of the thread.

Yep! Just as Ibfowlerjrmd said that you may be required to go through the HIMS process. Be advised that the cost could range from as little as $1500-$3200. I'm going to assume that the assessments that will be administered in the HIMS evaluation for your particular issue vary due to the very nature of your "illness"; thus the range in cost. In addition, location may play a part as well. Ibfowlerjrmd can give you more information on that than I can.

Also as stated, your file is being reviewed in OKC. If a HIMS eval is required, then Dr C. C., Chief Psychiatrist for the FAA in Washington D.C. will review and make final decision.

All the best to you my friend! Blue skies.
