Who qualifies for Nuclear Care services?

Individuals who have been approved through the EEOICPA program and have received a White Card may qualify for Nuclear Care services. Eligibility is generally based on employment history and an approved work-related illness. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, Symbii can help review your situation and answer questions about the process.

What services are covered by the White Card?

Covered services may include in-home healthcare, skilled nursing, case management, durable medical equipment, prescription medications, and other medically necessary services related to an approved condition. Coverage varies based on individual eligibility and approved diagnoses.

Can a family member be paid to provide care?

In some situations, eligible patients may be able to have a family member or trusted caregiver provide care through the program. Our team can help determine eligibility and explain available caregiver options.

What illnesses may qualify for EEOICPA benefits?

The program covers a variety of illnesses associated with radiation exposure, beryllium exposure, and other toxic substances encountered while working in qualifying nuclear facilities. Eligibility is determined by the Department of Labor based on employment history and medical documentation.

Does Symbii help with the application process?
