Built for your workflow

A reliable partner for your hardest discharges.

You're trying to close a case before shift change. We're trying to make sure a patient doesn't come back through the ED next week. Those two goals line up — so we've designed intake, documentation, and handoff around how hospital discharge teams actually work.

Our commitments

What you can expect from us, in writing.

24-hour response

Every referral gets a real response within one business day — not an auto-reply.

$0 to patient

No cost for qualifying patients on MA, UCare, BCBS, Medica, or Hennepin Health.

Docs we accept

Secure online form, fax, phone, or direct email. Whatever your system supports.

Weekly updates

Written progress notes to the referring team for the duration of the stay.

Pathway

The referral-to-admission pathway.

This is what the path looks like end-to-end. Nothing about it needs to be learned — it's designed around the documents and steps your team already produces.

Referral submitted

Secure web form, fax (952) 400-3300, or phone. H&P and face sheet help most.

Intake review

Our nurse confirms clinical eligibility and runs a real-time coverage check.

Planner call

We contact you to confirm discharge date, transport, and a written plan of care.

Admission

Patient admitted at 4045 Washington St NE. Your team gets a documented handoff.

Packet checklist

What to send with a referral.

None of these are deal-breakers — we'll still review a partial packet. Having them up front just means admission can happen on the discharge date instead of a day later.

  • History & Physical or discharge summary
  • Patient face sheet (PMI, demographics, insurance)
  • Current medication list with dosages
  • Primary and secondary ICD-10 codes
  • Relevant recent progress notes or labs
  • Wound-care orders, if applicable
  • Discharge date and transportation plan

Who refers

Where our referrals come from.

If your role involves closing a discharge plan for a patient without stable housing, you already work with someone whose case we'd take.

Hospital discharge planners

Inpatient social workers and discharge planners at Twin Cities and greater-MN hospital systems.

MCO care coordinators

Care coordinators and case managers at UCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medica, and Hennepin Health.

Community partners

Shelter staff, outreach teams, FQHC social workers, and community health workers.

“It's the only recuperative-care program I've worked with where I can call a nurse, get a decision the same day, and know the patient will get a written plan of care before admission.”
