Rehabtree was founded on the recognition that individuals and families navigating complex healthcare, disability, and educational systems often face significant barriers to accessing the services they need.
Despite the presence of skilled providers and dedicated care teams, systems are often fragmented, difficult to navigate, and influenced by administrative processes that can delay or prevent access to necessary care.
Increasing complexity across insurance, disability, and care coordination systems has created a growing gap between what individuals clinically require and what systems readily provide.
As a result, families are often left managing appeals, coordinating across providers, and interpreting complex requirements within systems not designed for ease of navigation.
Led by Amanda DiGiovanni, OTD, BCPA, Rehabtree provides clinical strategy, complex care navigation, and health and disability advocacy designed to support individuals, families, healthcare providers, and organizations working within these complex systems.
Amanda’s 25-year background in healthcare delivery and operations spans clinical rehabilitation, healthcare operations, insurance appeals, disability services programming, and executive leadership. Through this work she observed a consistent pattern: when care systems become fragmented, individuals and families often carry the burden of navigating those systems alone. Rehabtree’s approach focuses on identifying care gaps, coordinating across providers and service systems, and developing strategic plans that support access to medically necessary services, care stability, and improved long-term outcomes.
The work frequently involves collaboration with physicians, therapists, educators, support coordinators, and community organizations to ensure that care decisions are informed, coordinated, and aligned with the individual’s clinical needs.
As healthcare and disability systems continue to evolve, the need for informed navigation, strategic advocacy, and coordinated care planning has become increasingly important. Rehabtree exists to provide that guidance, helping individuals and care teams move through complex systems with greater access, stability, and clarity.
Rehabtree’s mission is to improve access to care by bridging the gap between clinical need and system delivery through strategic advocacy and coordinated care.
Rehabtree’s work is grounded in the belief that effective advocacy requires both clinical insight and systems-level understanding.
Healthcare, insurance, educational, and disability systems are complex and interconnected. When access to care breaks down, the barrier is often not the clinical need itself, but rather the structure, communication, and coordination of the systems meant to support it.
Rehabtree applies clinical expertise at the systems level to identify care gaps, align documentation with eligibility criteria, and support informed navigation across service systems.
As a provider working closely with individuals with disabilities, I often see firsthand how critical access to medically necessary services can be for safety and stability.
When one family shared that their son’s private duty nursing — a service he had received for more than 15 years — had suddenly been denied by insurance, I immediately recognized the urgency of the situation given his complex medical needs and history of uncontrolled seizures.
I encouraged the family to reach out to Amanda DiGiovanni. Within seven days, Amanda conducted a detailed review of the clinical documentation and payer policies and developed a strategic appeal that resulted in the denial being overturned.
Not only was the medically necessary nursing care reinstated, but the approved hours were increased, restoring critical support that helps ensure this young man’s safety, stability, and ongoing care in the home setting.
Amanda brings a rare combination of clinical expertise, strategic thinking, and advocacy. I would confidently refer families to her again and value the work she continues to do to support individuals with complex needs.
