A free, editable scorecard for choosing a hotel near a medical facility for a plan member. It makes the distance-versus-price trade-off explicit so the pick is the safe one and you can defend it at review.
The instinct is to optimize for nightly rate because that is the number a coordinator can defend. The math rarely supports it; a hotel forty dollars a night cheaper but four miles farther costs more in member friction than it saves.
The editable scorecard compares up to three candidate hotels side by side, gives a new coordinator the same judgment your best one already has, and leaves a written record of why a hotel over a mile out was chosen.
In Carepassage this scorecard is automatic: facility-anchored search sorts by walking distance to the facility, surfaces your preferred hotels first, and flags anything over a mile out, all built into the booking flow, free for your TPA.
Because a post-op member in the cheapest room miles from the facility cannot reliably get there, and the rideshare, navigation, and friction costs exceed the nightly-rate savings. Distance is the safer and usually cheaper choice overall.
Up to three candidate hotels side by side, so a coordinator can show their work and defend the pick.
Yes. The facility-anchored search makes walking distance the default sort, ranks operator-flagged preferred hotels first, and flags candidates over a mile out.
