Carepassage

Your patients travel to reach you. Give them a place to stay.

If patients travel in from out of area to reach your clinic, Carepassage is the travel program you have not had time to build. Send a patient a link and they pick a hotel near your site, book it themselves, and pay with their own card. Six emails in your name carry them from booking through the trip home, and every stay lands on the record for the first time. It costs your program nothing.

You already run a travel program. It just runs on a web page and a folder of discount codes.

Somebody on your team built a lodging list because patients kept asking, and it grew. Now it is properties across a handful of unrelated corporate code systems, each with its own rules, each maintained by hand, and each quietly going out of date.

None of it comes back to you. Not what a patient paid, not where they stayed, not whether the room was any good, not how many nights your protocol generated last quarter. The program exists, and there is no record that it does.

Three people pay for it, and none of them are billed.

The status quo is not free, it is just uninvoiced. It comes out of coordinator hours, out of the patient’s own pocket and their worst night of the trip, and out of a program that cannot see the most expensive uncovered part of its own care.

It is not about your specialty. It is about how your patients travel.

Five things tend to be true at once. If four of them describe you, this fits.

Programs we are built for

The specialty varies and the travel shape repeats. Carepassage is in use or in build for programs across these kinds of care.

Your patient books it, or your team does

Patient books, which is the usual setup for a treatment program: your coordinator fills a short form when the visit is scheduled, the patient gets a secure link in your name with no account and no sign-up, and they pick a hotel near your site and pay with their own card. Your team never touches a card, never holds money, and never becomes a travel agency.

Coordinator books: the same account books the room on a patient’s behalf, from the same hotel list. Both paths produce the same record and the same six emails.

Days, not quarters

We provision your account with your name, your colors, your sites and your vocabulary, and walk your coordinator through their first booking live. There is nothing to install, no integration to schedule, and no data to migrate. Paperwork, including the Business Associate Agreement we sign as your business associate, is handled during setup rather than being a project of its own.

Pricing is all-in from the first screen: taxes and fees included, no booking fee, and the number your patient sees is the number charged. The hotel industry pays a commission on every booking, and that funds the platform instead of a bill to your program.

Common questions

Does the patient see your name or ours?

Yours. The booking page, every email, and the sender are branded as your program. Carepassage appears once, in the footer, because replies reach our travel desk and somebody has to answer them.

Do our coordinators have to book the rooms?

Only if you want them to. The usual setup for a treatment program is that your coordinator sends a link and the patient books their own room and pays with their own card. Your team can also book on a patient’s behalf from the same account. Both paths produce the same record.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. No subscription, no per-seat fee, no setup cost, and no card on file. The hotel industry pays a commission on every booking, the same one a consumer travel site collects today, and that funds the platform instead.

How are the hotels chosen?

Ranked by distance to the specific site the patient is visiting, then by quality, extended-stay amenities, and the room configuration that fits how your patients actually travel. A program where patients need a kitchen gets a different order than one where they need one bed.

What do we get back that we do not have today?

A record. Which patients travelled, to which site, for how many nights, at which properties, at what spend, and what they thought of the stay. Most programs have never seen any of it, because a booking made on a consumer site returns nothing to the clinic.

How long does it take to go live?

Typically within a day of signing. Your account is provisioned rather than built: there is nothing to install, no integration to schedule, and no data to migrate.

What about patient data and HIPAA?

Handled, and not something you need to work through before a demo. We sign a Business Associate Agreement as part of setup, encrypt sensitive fields at rest, log authenticated access, store no diagnosis or clinical narrative, and share only the minimum necessary with the hotel. Consumer travel sites will not sign a BAA.
