Referral Process

Referrals may be called into the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Program's (BSCIP) Central Registry at the toll free number above or faxed to 850-410-1975.  Florida law (F.S. 381.74) requires that all hospitals, attending physicians, public, private, or social agencies refer all new traumatic moderate-to-severe brain or spinal cord injuries to the Central Registry.

Individuals who meet the eligibility criteria and require services and supports to sustain their health and safety in the community may refer themselves to the BSCIP Central Registry.

A BSCIP or Children's Medical Services nurse case manager representing the program will contact the individual reported to the Central Registry within 10 working days.  The case manager will work with the individual and family to determine program eligibility and provide information about federal, state, and community resources.  When appropriate and necessary, an individual community reintegration plan is developed and implemented.
