Questions people ask before applying
Is BridgeMD really free?
Yes - searching and applying are 100% free for patients. We're a matching tool, not the study sponsor, and we never charge you.
Will I get paid?
Many trials reimburse your time and travel, and some pay a stipend. The amount is set by each study, not by us - we show what the study lists. Never treat compensation as the only reason to join.
Is it safe? Am I just a guinea pig?
Every trial follows a protocol reviewed by an independent ethics board (IRB/REB). The study team walks you through the risks and what to expect before you agree to anything, and taking part is always voluntary - you can leave at any time.
What happens after I apply?
Your interest goes to that study's coordinator. They contact you to confirm details and check whether you're eligible. Applying is not enrolling - you're never obligated to continue.
Do I need a doctor's referral or insurance?
No referral is needed to apply. Trials don't bill your insurance for study procedures, and the study team will tell you exactly what's covered.
Will I get a placebo instead of real treatment?
Not all trials use a placebo. When one does, the study team explains it upfront - and participants are usually still monitored closely and continue receiving standard care.
Is my information private? Will I get spammed?
You control what you share. We don't sell your data - we only pass what you submit to the specific study team you choose to apply to.
