Referral network

The right next step — and the right network to get there.

Guided Care doesn't stop at a handoff. Our referral system connects you to the best-matched hospitals, specialists, facilities, researchers, clinical trials, and advocacy groups — so the right care happens sooner. You and your clinician always make the decision; we surface and expedite the options.

Referrals are options to discuss, not medical direction. Matching is based on clinical fit and access — never on who pays to be listed.
Who's in the network

A whole ecosystem of care — in one place

From first appointment to second opinion to support, Guided Care maps the people and places that can help.

Imaging, labs, infusion, surgical, and rehab facilities with the capabilities and capacity you need.

Researchers & academic centers

Investigators and academic programs working at the frontier of your condition.

Clinical trials

Matching trials by condition, stage, and eligibility — with plain-language explanations of what's involved.

Advocacy & support groups

Patient advocacy organizations, peer support, and navigation help for the road ahead.

How matching works

Matched on fit and access — to expedite care

Once Guided Care produces a handoff, the referral system ranks the network against what actually matters for getting seen.

What we match on

  • Condition & required specialty
  • Urgency from the safety floor
  • Location & travel reach
  • Capability & capacity / wait time
  • Coverage & access where known

How we expedite

  • Urgency drives prioritization and speed
  • The handoff summary travels with you
  • Fewer dead ends, less back-and-forth
  • Second opinions surfaced when it matters

Trust by design

  • Ranked on clinical fit & access, not payment
  • Same bias controls apply to referrals
  • Options to discuss — you decide
  • Transparent why-matched reasoning
Aligned with our safeguards

A referral is only as good as its neutrality.

The referral system inherits the same protections as the rest of Guided Care. The bias controls keep any one institution or specialty from over-framing where you should go, and the safety floor drives urgency: an SF-1 result routes to emergency care now, not a future appointment.

Education-first, always

We surface and expedite. You and your clinician decide.

Guided Care never replaces a clinical referral or tells you which provider to choose. It organizes the best-matched options, explains why each fits, and helps you act faster — keeping the decision where it belongs.

Coverage and availability vary by region and change over time; always confirm details with the provider and your plan.
