From discharge to the right destination

Refer a patient.

For hospitals and nursing facilities. Five minutes. A Cardinal coordinator calls you within four business hours, and Cardinal Care Advisors reviews the referral, usually within two business days. Once it is accepted, your organization's services agreement and the patient's authorization are signed, and we plan the discharge with the family, going home or to assisted living.

Name and basics only here. No Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance numbers, and no charts or notes.
