No-PHI first contact
The first step stays broad so professionals are not forwarding records or private clinical details by ordinary email.
For referral partners
A critical care doctor advisory resource for families after serious illness.
BridgeCare helps medically overwhelmed families understand hospital, ICU, discharge, SNF/rehab, and goals-of-care questions before the next decision point.
Partner-ready path
A clean referral route when the medical story is blocking the next decision.
- Send the family to the no-PHI fit screen.
- BridgeCare confirms advisory scope and non-urgent fit.
- The family books, pays, receives critical care doctor details, then completes secure intake.
Where BridgeCare fits
Some families call an attorney, care manager, home-care agency, or private physician practice because the medical story is driving every other decision. They may have records, discharge paperwork, medication changes, and a care plan, but still not understand what happened or what to ask next.
BridgeCare gives those families a private critical care doctor advisory review: interpretation, decision preparation, and a practical question list for the treating team.
Referral confidence
Built to protect your relationship with the family and the treating team.
Critical care doctor matched after booking
Families get a critical care doctor for interpretation and preparation after paid confirmation.
Treating-team aligned
The output is designed to help the family ask better questions, not replace or override the treating team.
Good referral situations

Capacity, guardianship, Medicaid planning, hospice, placement, and family conflict where medical uncertainty is slowing decisions.

How to refer safely
- Send the family to BridgeCare Medicine for a non-urgent fit screen.
- Do not send medical records, names, dates of birth, or protected health information by ordinary email.
- The family receives secure intake and upload instructions only after scope, consent, and fit are confirmed.
- The final advisory summary is designed to help the family communicate better with the treating team.
What BridgeCare does not do
BridgeCare is not emergency care, legal advice, primary care, a hospital replacement, a promise of treatment change, or a substitute for the clinicians responsible for the patient's care.
