Real outcome

"My workplace approved every accommodation I asked for — first request, no follow-up needed."

THE PROBLEM

"Bring a letter from your doctor" — but no one explains what the employer or service needs to see.

Many people are denied or partially granted accommodations because the letter doesn't link the disability to the specific functional limitation and the requested adjustment. Without that link, the request stalls or comes back asking for more evidence.

Letter v1 · Returned

Patient has a disability. Recommend accommodations at work.

⚠ Missing: functional limitations, specific accommodations, duration, professional credentials

Letter v2 · After CareBridge

Approved ✓

Specific diagnosis, observed functional limitations affecting specific work tasks or daily activities, the concrete accommodations recommended, and the duration clearly stated by a qualified professional.

WHO THIS IS FOR 

This service is for you if…

If any of these describe your situation, we can help.

Your workplace, service provider, or program has asked for medical documentation

You're unsure what your doctor or specialist should write

A previous accommodation request was denied or only partially granted

You need documentation for transit, parking, or service-access programs

You have a letter already and want it reviewed before submission

A vague accommodation letter often means weeks of delay or a denied request — leaving you to manage without the support you need. Getting the documentation right the first time means the accommodation actually arrives.
