- Patients age 30 and older pay for their own hotel accommodations and NIH will reimburse $120.00 per night for the hotel.
Transportation
NIH does not pay transportation for first time visits; however, a special exemption has been made for patients participating in a specialty clinic. What will be provided is:
- For patients 21 and under, airfare for the patient and one guardian is provided.
- For patients over 21, airfare is provided for the patient only.
- Travel expenses are only authorized for patients residing outside a 50-mile radius of the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
- For patients who reside less than 50 miles from the NIH, travel expenses are not provided.
- For patients who reside outside the United States, airfare will be provided from the closest point of entry within the United States.
- Free round trip shuttle service is available from the three local Washington, DC airports. The Children’s Inn will arrange a car to pick you up at the airport for first time stays at the Children’s Inn.
