Refer to NICoE

Providers have the option to refer patients to the TBI Outpatient Program or the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). See below for program-specific referral directions.

TBI Outpatient Program

The National Intrepid Center of Excellence's (NICoE) Referral Management Team will determine appropriate candidates for the TBI Outpatient Program upon reviewing referrals.

  • Within the National Capital Region: Provider referrals may be entered directly into the Composite Health Care System (CHCS).
  • Outside of the National Capital Region: For information about referrals to any NICoE program, the primary care provider should email: dha.bethesda.wrnmmc.list.wrnm-nicoe-referral@health.mil. A member of our Referral Management Team will contact you to follow up on your request.
