In order to request an exception to the Private Physician criteria, you must show that you will suffer significant hardship in having your condition evaluated and certified for treatment by the WTC Health Program, either in the New York City metropolitan area or through the Nationwide Provider Network.

Para poder solicitar la excepción del proceso de Médico Privado, usted debe demostrar gran dificultad en asistir a la evaluación, certificación y tratamiento para su condición por el Programa de Salud del WTC, en la ciudad de Nueva York, área metropolitana, o a través de la red de proveedores a través de la nación.

Aby ubiegać się o odstępstwo od kryteriów procesu weryfikacji przez lekarza prywatnego, musza Państwo pokazać, że zaistniałyby znaczne trudności podczas ubiegania się o ewaluacje i kwalifikacje uszczerbku na zdrowiu przez Program Zdrowia WTC, zarówno na obszarze miasta Nowy Jork jak i przez sieć klinik National Provider Network.

为了请求私人医师标准的例外，您必须证明：您无论是在纽约市大都市区还是通过全国提供商网络，让WTC健康项目对您的病情进行评估和治疗认证方面将遇到重大困难。

如果您认为在WTC健康项目寻求认证方面将遇到重大困难，您应该上传一份声明或一封信到您的索赔，说明情况以及您为何就私人医生流程应得到考虑，并且随后致电VCF求助热线以提醒我们您有这样的请求。一旦您的请求得到审查并对您的请求是否获批准的决定已作出，我们的热线团队的成员会打电话通知您该决定。如果我们确定您就是私人医生流程的合适人选，一旦我们打电话通知您这个决定，您应该填写并提交私人医生信息包和证明文件。

You should only complete the online Private Physician forms if you meet the criteria for the Private Physician process. If you do not meet the criteria for the Private Physician process, you should answer “No” to any questions that ask about treatment by a physician not affiliated with the WTC Health Program. You should also answer “No” if the system displays the question that asks if you are ready to provide information regarding the Private Physician process.

The Private Physician process would be available in this situation so that the claimant could pursue a personal injury claim. The process remains available for deceased individuals who were not certified for treatment for the claimed condition prior to death.

Usted debe completar los formularios en línea de Médico Privado únicamente si cumple con los criterios para el proceso Médico Privado si usted no cumple con los criterios para el proceso Médico Privado debe responder "No" a cualquier pregunta sobre el tratamiento por un médico que no esté afiliado con el Programa de Salud del WTC.

El proceso de Médico Privado podría estar disponible en esta situación para que el reclamante pueda proceder con su reclamo de lesiones físicas personales.  El proceso permanece disponible para personas fallecidas que no fueron certificadas por la condición reclamada antes de su muerte. 

Formularz dotyczący procesu weryfikacji lekarza prywatnego należy wypełniać tylko, jeśli spełniają Państwo nowe kryteria Procesu Weryfikacji Lekarza Prywatnego o uznaniu uszczerbku na zdrowiu poprzez proces weryfikacji lekarza prywatnego.

Proces weryfikacji lekarza prywatnego jest w tej sytuacji dostępny dla spadkobierców, którzy mogą ubiegać się o odszkodowanie z tytułu uszkodzenia ciała zmarłego poszkodowanego.  Proces pozostaje dostępny również we wniosku osoby zmarłej, która przed śmiercią nie uzyskała zaświadczenia do leczenia uszczerbku na zdrowiu, z tytułu, którego wnioskowane jest odszkodowanie.

如果您符合VCF的《私人医生流程》标准，您应该只填写在线《私人医生》表格。 如果您不符合私人医生流程的标准，您应该对任何询问不隶属WTC健康项目的医生治疗的问题回答“否”。如果系统显示询问您是否准备提供有关私人医生流程的信息的问题，您也应回答“否”。 对这些问题回答“否”将阻止系统显示私人医生的问题。

在这种情况下，私人医生流程会是可用的，以便索赔人可以寻求人身伤害索赔。此流程仍然可用于那些在生前没有对声称的疾病获治疗认证的死者。

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends

Today, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (“VCF”) publishes its first Quarterly Report of 2017 and I want to take the opportunity to give you an update on our progress.

As of March 31, the VCF has rendered over 15,500 compensation determinations, including initial awards on new claims, and revised awards on claims with amendments or appeals. These determinations total over $2.48 billion awarded to VCF claimants.

Fiscal Year 2014 was a very productive year at the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. In our first two years, we were focused on everything required to start a significant new program, including hiring staff, developing claim forms and ways to process those forms, and reaching out to prospective claimants to file their claims. This year, we were focused on processing and paying claims, and we have seen positive results.

Every year on September 11th we reflect on the lives that were forever changed by that terrible day. At the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, we are working harder than ever to assist the survivors who have been injured as a result of 9/11. We have made great strides in the past year, resulting in 7,885 claimants being found eligible to receive compensation and issuing 1,843 compensation decisions totaling $493,768,674. But this somber anniversary is, for the Fund, not a moment to pause, but rather a reminder that we must increase our efforts and build on our recent progress.

Today, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) issued updated program statistics. This report shows the progress we have made over the past few months. As of June 30, 2014, the VCF has issued 7,075 eligibility decisions and 1,145 compensation decisions. For the second quarter in a row, the number of issued compensation decisions has increased by more than 100% over the previous quarter.

I am pleased to announce that the first VCF appeal hearings were held on January 29, 2014 at the VCF office in New York City.

All claimants have the opportunity to appeal the VCF decision if their claim is denied as ineligible due to such circumstances as missing proof of presence, or if a particular injury or illness is denied as ineligible. A claimant also has the opportunity to appeal a compensation calculation.

October 3, 2013 was an important registration deadline for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Anyone who was diagnosed with a 9/11-related condition on or before October 3, 2011 for which they intend to seek compensation from the VCF must have registered with the Fund by the October 3, 2013 deadline.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Patricia G. Houser as the Fund’s Director of Operations.

On December 18, 2012, I posted to this website a message with very important information on the claim review process and tips for helping the VCF to process your claim as efficiently as possible.
