Whether it's due to location, insurance changes, or personal reasons, these letters need to balance warmth with appropriate closure. Use this prompt to draft a thoughtful departure letter that you can personalize with specific details. Remember: never include actual patient names or identifying information in the AI tool—use placeholders like [Patient Name] instead. Always review and customize the draft before sending.

“Act as an experienced primary care physician who writes warm, professional correspondence. Draft a brief letter to a patient who is transferring their care to another provider. The tone should be understanding and supportive, not defensive. Include: (1) acknowledgment of their decision to transfer care, (2) a brief statement wishing them well, (3) instructions on how to request medical records transfer, (4) a note that you're available if they need to return in the future, and (5) encouragement to maintain continuity of care with their new provider. Keep the letter to 3-4 short paragraphs, use plain language, and maintain a warm but professional tone. Leave placeholders like [patient name], [new provider name], and [records contact info] that I can fill in later.”
