How it works

One anonymous query. Real answers. A clear choice for the patient.

RelayHealth occupies a specific, narrow place in the discharge process: the moment between recognizing a patient needs post-acute care and choosing where they go. It doesn't replace the formal referral your team sends afterward — it makes the decision in front of it faster, safer, and more patient-centered.

1

Compose a Care Transition Query

Select the care category — home health, hospice, skilled nursing, DME, infusion, or pharmacy — the destination area, and insurance context. Entry-level guardrails block common identifiers and discourage identifying free text.

2

Route anonymously

The query reaches only the provider Representatives who serve that category and area. They see the case, not the hospital or the patient.

3

Collect structured answers

Each care category runs as its own thread, so answers don't block one another. Providers respond Accept, Maybe (with a reason), or Decline — in minutes.

4

Build a patient choice list

From the providers who can accept, generate a clean, quality-ranked list — Medicare star ratings alongside each option — that you can print and hand to the patient. Patient choice stays paramount; you present real, available options and the patient decides.

5

Hand off and close cleanly

Continue in your existing HIPAA-compliant referral process, then close the query; routing detail for that case leaves your view.

What stays the same

Your EHR, your referral system, and your compliance process. RelayHealth adds one step in front of them — it doesn't replace any of them.

Managing your providers

Your team's own rolodex.

Case managers can rate the Representatives they work with (1–5 stars), mark favorites they trust in a pinch, and block a Representative or an entire company from seeing their queries. Everyone still receives queries based on care category and geography — the rating and favorites simply help the team recognize who has done good work before.
