As has been done many times in the past -- and twice in this admin, once for mom-mom and once for POTUS' mother-in-law -- Walter Reed admits people not normally eligible because of the security involved.  Here, the VP and Dr. B's constant ingress/egress to see BB necessitated him being somewhere more secure than, say, Jefferson or Christiana.

The younger Biden is not active duty military but in the past has served as a Delaware National Guard officer with a tour as an Army lawyer in Iraq back in 2008-2009. Since that time he has served as Delaware’s attorney general and is now a private practicing attorney.

Since when do military hospitals provide specialized care for adult children of national politicians? That has to be the reason he is now in a military hospital, because his past service in the Delaware Guard certainly does not render him eligible to be treated there. He is neither active duty military duty nor retired, so where is the justification for his being treated at taxpayer expense?
