We handle the physician layer—so your team doesn’t have to
BridgeCare Medical supports home health agencies, hospital and ER case management teams, and clinical providers by providing the physician oversight required to start and continue home health care. We evaluate patients, complete and sign orders, and remain involved—so your patients aren’t delayed waiting for a doctor. Core services: • Physician evaluation (virtual) • Home health orders completed and signed • Ongoing oversight and plan of care management • Coordination with home health agencies Home health requires a physician to stay involved—not just start care. BridgeCare fills that role. Additional support (if eligible): • Medication management and refills (non-controlled) • Lab and imaging coordination • Specialist referrals • Virtual urgent care visits • Post-discharge follow-up
Where we remove delays
BridgeCare ensures the physician layer is in place so home health care can start and continue without delays.
BridgeCare Physician
Evaluates the patient, completes and signs home health orders, and remains involved so care can start and continue without interruption.
Hospital & ER Case Management
Patients need home health but ongoing physician oversight is required. BridgeCare steps in immediately so discharge isn't delayed.
Home Health Agency
Delivers nursing and therapy services once physician orders are active and in place.
Clinical Providers / PCP
Patients can continue to see or can choose to resume long-term care with their PCP once they are improved. Meanwhile, PCP get some much deserved help from the additional administrative work that comes from home health orders and calls.
Simple. Fast. Built for clinical workflows.
We act as the physician partner that removes barriers—so your patients get care quickly and your team isn’t overwhelmed searching for solutions.

Delays in physician involvement compromise care outcomes
Delays in physician involvement impact SOC timelines, reimbursement, patient outcomes, and readmission risk. Home health cannot start—or continue—without a physician actively managing orders. BridgeCare requires that the physician immediately remain involved, so care continues without gaps.

How Video Visit Coordination Works
If a patient needs help joining their visit, BridgeCare coordinates directly with your team to align the physician visit with the home health start-of-care or scheduled visit. Simple steps: 1. We confirm timing with your team 2. The visit is aligned with your scheduled patient visit 3. Your staff can assist the patient in joining the video visit 4. The physician completes evaluation and orders during the visit For patients not comfortable with technology, we coordinate directly with your team so the visit happens smoothly. The patient's chart is prepared in advance—diagnoses, medication list, and medical history summary. The physician visit is aligned within your team's visit window. Your staff assists the patient via a pre-sent video link on phone or tablet. The physician completes a focused 10–15 minute evaluation and provides start-of-care orders during the visit.
