A clearer first step for a care enquiry.

Prepare the practical outline.

Before requesting a start date, establish the home ZIP, the intended timing, who can authorize arrangements and which needs require a clinician. A referral is not a confirmed visit. Ask who will assess the needs and who will contact the family.

• Confirm the service address and the dates being discussed.
• Distinguish clinical orders from non-medical daily support.
• Clarify the payer pathway and outstanding authorization.
• Agree on the next responsible person and a follow-up time.

Keep clinical information in the right channel.

Use this form for your own professional contact details and the care ZIP only. Do not submit a patient’s name, date of birth, diagnosis, discharge record or insurance identifiers. The selected provider can identify its appropriate intake and information-sharing process.
