Any disease can be claimed and be potentially approved.
See the list on the Part E - Non Cancer page for approved energy worksites.
You have to work on site with an employee number to qualify as a covered employee.
Drivers making deliveries onto sites do not qualify if they only delivered material.
Claims can range from a year to years to adjudicate, sometimes longer, and occasionally sometimes shorter. Patients at the end of life can be expedited through a process at DOL.
Part B SEC cancers, chronic beryllium disease and chronic silicosis require 250 days for approval.
Part E claims have no minimum work requirement
Yes, this will not affect your employment.
Wage loss is approved if you have stopped working due to your covered condition, if wage loss has occurred after diagnosis and income was significantly reduced.
Wage loss is granted for $10,000 - $15,000 per year retroactive to the date of employment loss.
After receiving medical approval, we file for an Impairment Evaluation which will determine the amount of financial award received. There is $250,000 available in impairment compensation available.
After the claimant has received their financial award from DOL they can send in payment via check, cash or credit card to Authorized Rep.
US Code 42 states that your compensation is not taxable.
It is an easy process to be approved to take the white card. Giving Home Health care
can reach out to any care providers to share with them the benefits and process to start
taking the card. You can contact them at info@givinghhc.com or 888-501-6330
Claims follow a predictable path. However, at any point that path can have roadblocks
or detours etc. It can be the type of claim, it can be the process the claims examiner
follows, it can be DOL managers, or the third-party entities DOL uses to develop claims.
Claims can be delayed, deferred and sometimes denied
A letter like a remand, recommended decision of denial that we object to or a final
decision that we request a reconsideration or reopening adds even further delay.
These are symptoms of the bureaucracy.
