How to Get Medical Services and Therapy at Rehabilitation & Specialized Care

Our team is ready to provide whatever care your child needs, be it at outpatient appointments or during an inpatient stay at our facilities. Learn the process to obtain services below.

Inpatient Admission Process

We are happy you are considering Rehabilitation & Specialized Care-Bunker Hill Road for your child’s healthcare needs. We encourage you to schedule a tour of our location so that you learn more about us and see if we are the right fit for your child.

When You Arrive

We will have checked in with your insurance company before you arrive. That way, if we need any documents, we will let you know so your admission is as smooth as possible and we can focus on your child.

On the day of admission, you and your child will be greeted by our staff and shown to your child's room. During the day:

  • Medical staff will complete an evaluation of your child
  • A staff member will tell you all about the facility, our staff and services your child may need
  • We provide a routine schedule to give your child a sense of security
  • We'll tell you about visiting hours

Families meet the individual care providers at the bedside on admission or shortly afterwards. You can then expect to have family meetings scheduled by our social workers to discuss plans for leaving the hospital, progress on current goals, and to participate in ongoing goal setting. Parents and caregivers are also invited to attend weekly provider meetings (called rounds) with their child.

Inpatient Admission

If you have any additional questions about the inpatient admissions process, please call our admissions office at 202-635-6151.

Outpatient Appointment Process

To receive therapy services through Rehabilitation & Specialized Care, we will need a referral, sometimes called a physician's order, from your child's doctor.

    Check With Your Insurance Plan

    If you have private health insurance, be sure to check with your plan to make sure they cover therapy services and that Children's National is a participating provider. If you have any additional questions or issues please call us and we will check for you.
