PRIVATE PHYSICIAN PROCESS Updated: April 30, 2014 To be eligible for compensation from the VCF, the Zadroga act requires that a claimant be certified for treatment by the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program for an eligible physical condition. For claimants who participate in the WTC Health Program, the VCF is able to obtain the necessary information directly from the Health Program.
OR
The Private Physician process is simply a way for the VCF to gather the required information about your treatment by a non-WTC Health Program physician in order to process your claim. It is important that you provide the information so the VCF can work with the WTC Health Program to verify your condition is eligible. The forms are simple and can be completed by you or your physician. |
