Healthcare Referral

Refer a Family for Compass to Care’s Travel Support

Thank you for referring a child to Compass to Care for support. There are two steps in the application:

The parent/guardian must submit an application.
The child’s social worker, nurse, or oncologist involved in the child’s treatment plan must submit a referral,

No matter which party submits their portion first, an email will automatically be sent to the other with a link to the application or referral form.

If a family’s application is approved, Compass to Care will provide direct payment or provide support for families to receive payment from Medicaid for one or several of the following expenses, based on the family’s needs and type of insurance:

Airfare
Gasoline
Lodging
Parking Fees
Taxi/Uber/Lyft Fees

The patient must be diagnosed with an oncology cancer and actively undergoing treatment.
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, Sickle Cell, and non-cancerous tumors do not qualify.
The patient must be under 18 years of age at the time of applying.
Every 3 months, we require an updated referral to confirm that the child is on active treatment. We will reach out to the social worker directly. The updated form can be found here: https://www.compasstocare.org/patient-update/

By typing my name below, I understand that as a referrer to Compass to Care's program, I will be contacted at regular intervals (most often monthly) to provide updated travel details for this patient. This information will determine the patient's on-going eligibility. If I do not respond to the requests for information, the patient's support will be suspended until further details are collected from you or your team. In addition, I understand it is my responsibility to provide details to the Compass to Care Team if a child's treatment changes, the child stops receiving care, or the child passes away. This will help keep our records accurate and ensure we are providing the necessary support for travel needs.
