Not emergency care. If there are urgent symptoms, worsening condition, rapid change, or a same-day clinical decision, contact 911, the treating clinician, the facility nurse/clinician, or the emergency department.

Paid secure handoff only. BridgeCare opens the secure upload instructions only after the no-PHI safety screen, package selection, and paid booking are complete. Do not upload or email records before that step.

How to unlock secure intake

Complete the selected service booking and payment during secure booking. After paid booking, BridgeCare matches you with a critical care doctor and provides the doctor's name, visit-prep details, secure upload, and e-signature instructions. This keeps records out of booking notes, public forms, payment fields, and ordinary email.

Secure intake sequence

1. Fit confirmed

The request appears non-urgent and appropriate for advisory interpretation.

2. Booking confirmed

The advisory package, time, payment amount, and expectations are confirmed.

3. Payment complete

Secure booking payment is completed using a generic service name with no clinical details or records.

4. Doctor and upload details sent

Only then does BridgeCare send critical care doctor details plus the approved secure consent and upload instructions.

Do not send by ordinary email

Do not email records, discharge summaries, medication lists, lab reports, patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, hospital or facility names, exact dates, photos, insurance cards, or detailed clinical facts.

What may be requested later

  • Discharge summary or after-visit paperwork.
  • Medication list or medication-change documents.
  • Recent lab, imaging, consultant, rehab/SNF, or hospital records relevant to the advisory question.
  • A family question list and the decision or conversation you are preparing for.

Advisory boundary

BridgeCare helps organize the medical story and prepare questions for the treating team. It does not replace the treating team, provide emergency care, or promise changes in the care plan, discharge plan, or outcome.
