What is a “White Card?”
Qualifying living energy workers are issued a Department of Labor (DOL) White Medical Benefits Card (White Card). This card functions like a medical insurance card and can be presented to medical providers as payment. The program covers costs associated with your approved illness, including:
- No Co-Pays for Doctor’s Visits
- Coverage for Prescribed Medications
- Access to Durable Medical Equipment
- Coverage for Diagnostic Testing
- Eligibility for In-Home Health Care Services
- Reimbursement for Medical Expenses
The front of the card lists specific medical diagnosis codes, which correspond to your accepted illnesses. These codes let medical providers know which services they can bill the DOL for on your behalf.
This is a picture of the “White Card.” Note the codes next to “Accepted DX.” They designate the illnesses for which the DOL will make payment. EEOICPA and RECA offer compensation to those who contracted serious illnesses due to radiation exposure; each program only covers specific individuals and requires a different filing process.
Those who qualify for benefits may be eligible to receive covered medical expenses, including home health care. If you have questions about the types of medical costs covered, it is essential to contact an experienced home care professional at Caring Nurses, who can describe the services and conditions.
