Craig Hospital Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Referral Process
Traumatic Brain Injury Referral Process
To refer a patient with a brain injury to our inpatient or outpatient
program, please call our admissions department at 303-789-8344 to start the
process.
Referrals can be made by patients, families, physicians, case
managers, claims adjusters, hospital discharge planners, social
workers, and others.
Simultaneous physician to physician referral to our CNS Medical Group
at 303-789-8220 is required. Medical records will often be required,
and the Admissions FAX number is 303-789-8699. Most of Craig inpatient
referrals occur very soon following injury, and early referral
is recommended.
In many referral situations there can be challenging issues regarding a family's ability to travel to do a tour, distance versus quality concerns, patient transportation costs for the transfer from acute care to rehabilitation, family and child care needs, and others. We want families to know that because we admit patients from almost every state in the U.S. each year, we understand and work with families on these challenges virtually every day. We invite you to call us so we can work with you and your particular circumstances and needs. With our non-profit status and our Craig Hospital Foundation, we have resources and flexibility to meet peoples' needs in areas that many other rehabilitation hospitals do not.
