How screwed am I

I went to the HIMS Psych, paid several thousand dollars and based on the feedback he gave me it went well. A few weeks later I get this message.

Assuming HIMS Psych gave me a glowing recommendation, WTF is the point of asking me to get evaluated and spend several thousands and a huge hassle of traveling if they were going to deny anyway?

I feel completely ripped off! They don't care about wasting people's time or money, this is just a mindless, zombie checklist without any thinking being done.

If they were going to deny based on the other information in my file, they shouldn't have even asked for the psych eval in the first place
 
Just a lurker, but you will probably need to provide more details of your situation in order for one of the docs to give any meaningful feedback.

Depends on nature of your deferral and reason for denial. I’m 2 years in myself. Yes, it’s a pain. Yes, the system doesn’t make a lot of sense and it’s super frustrating.

Any details on your specific case?
 
"based on the feedback he gave me it went well"

You need to request a copy of your Airman Medical File from Jokelahoma City. You know absolutely nothing until you have that. In that file, you will find the HIMS psych evaluation report. You need to see what is in that in order to figure out where to go from here.

Until you have that in hand, everything is speculation.
 
I got the letter today, they just want me to meet with a HIMS AME and start that drug/alcohol testing process. At this point I'm kind of indifferent about the wait time anymore. I'm just glad to be one step closer to the finish line. I'd have to get a completely delusional HIMS AME to think I have a drug or alcohol problem

Go to TikTok and check out @cheesepilot (no relation). He went through this. Just got his medical back last week after 580 days and $14,000.
