MyFredy Expands National Access to Trusted Adult Support for Outpatient Discharge Requirements

Outpatient procedures are increasing nationwide, but discharge rules still require a trusted adult—creating a growing access gap MyFredy helps address.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Outpatient procedures continue to expand across the United States, but discharge requirements remain firm. Many facilities will not release patients who have received anesthesia or sedation unless a trusted adult is present to accompany them home and remain available afterward.

MyFredy has expanded national availability of non-clinical trusted adult support designed to meet outpatient discharge requirements. The service addresses a growing gap that increasingly determines whether scheduled outpatient care can proceed as planned.

Outpatient medicine has become faster and more accessible, but discharge policies still depend on personal support that many patients no longer have. More people live alone, relocate for work or retirement, or travel for care without nearby friends or family. At the same time, facilities are consistently enforcing discharge rules to reduce risk, leaving little flexibility for last-minute arrangements.

As a result, patients who are otherwise ready for a procedure can face delays or cancellations when they cannot identify a qualifying companion. This challenge appears across regions, even where outpatient capacity is strong.

Recent reporting has highlighted how uneven access to post-procedure support has become nationwide. In some areas, patients can meet discharge requirements easily. In others, the lack of a trusted adult becomes the limiting factor.

Florida illustrates the issue clearly. Seasonal residents, retirees, transplants, and patients without local family often find that rideshare services or taxis do not satisfy discharge requirements. Without a compliant plan in place, procedures may be postponed close to the appointment date.

MyFredy was built to support this exact point in the outpatient care pathway. The company provides non-clinical companion support aligned with facility policies, including arrival assistance, on-site waiting, discharge handoff, and return-home coordination. The service is designed around compliance rather than transportation alone.

As outpatient volumes increase, patient behavior is shifting toward planning discharge support earlier in the scheduling process. Industry observers note that discharge logistics are becoming a determining factor in whether outpatient care can happen at all.

By expanding national availability, MyFredy aims to help patients, families, and care coordinators reduce cancellations, avoid last-minute stress, and complete outpatient procedures as scheduled.
