What is the EEOICPA?
The EEOICPA is a piece of legislation that was enacted in 2000 to compensate nuclear weapons workers, uranium miners, millers and haulers or their surviving families for illnesses that were caused as a result of their employment with Department of Energy, Atomic Weapons Employer facilities or Beryllium vendors. The program allows for monetary compensation as well as medical coverage for covered conditions.
What medical benefits are covered under the EEOICPA?
A covered condition(s) is eligible for all medically necessary services that are medically justified.
• Hospitalization
• Surgical Procedures
• Prescriptions
• Durable Medical Equipment
• Radiological Imaging
• Physician Appointments
• Home Health Care
Why Home Health Care?
The EEOICPA legislation recognizes that these workers sacrificed their health in the race to the nations nuclear stockpile. As a result, their health has deteriorated and those workers who are still living, are living with health complications and limitations to their daily lives as result of that work. When health issues arise from the covered condition, patients should not have to ask family members or friends to sacrifice time and money when their employment is what lead them to need assistance in the home.
• No out-of-pocket cost (FOR ANY COVERED MEDICAL EXPENSE BY AN ENROLLED PROVIDER)
• Family does not need to take FMLA to care for their loved one
• Patients get to stay in their own home
Why Home Health Care?
Covered condition(s) are the conditions that have been approved under the EEOICPA by being deemed at least as likely as not to have been caused by their employment or have been caused by, aggravated by or contributed to by their employment. Covered condition(s) can be consequential as well. Some covered cancers can be found here.
What is a Consequential Condition?
Consequential condition(s) are conditions that have been approved under the EEOICPA by being proven to be a direct result of a separate covered condition.
Example:
COPD*covered condition (+) Steroids*treatment for covered condition = Diabetes (consequential condition)
