IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR RECERTIFICATION
Every 6 months you are required to go through a recertification process to show that you still qualify to be a Bridges to Health patient. Your recertification is what enables you to keep your patient status ACTIVE.
Without successful completion of your recertification (i.e. bringing in ALL required documentation to your scheduled recertification appointment), your patient status will go to INACTIVE and you will not be given a new Bridges ID card.
You are responsible for making an appointment for your recertification prior to your card expiring (we recommend making your appointment one month before your card expires). Call us (765) 662-7289 or stop by to make your recertification appointment. You must bring all required documents listed below to your appointment (please do not assume they are in your chart).
NOTE: The recertification is your responsibility. If you do not bring in all documents, your patient status will go inactive, your appointments will be canceled and you will not be able to receive medications from Bridges.
