Patients can self-refer to the program, or any of the following can make a referral for you:

- Allied health professionals such as physical and occupational therapists
To make a referral, please call the referral coordinator at (205) 971-5781 or (205) 971-6050.
Once a referral has been received, the coordinator will complete the paperwork assessing need for an inpatient rehab stay based on Medicare's admission criteria. If appropriate, the coordinator will verify insurance requirements. Many insurance companies, especially HMOs, require pre-certification prior to admission to a rehab level of care. The coordinator will complete the process and will be in communication with the patient and family and/or caregiver every step of the way.
