Your White Card Covers More Than You Know.
If you worked at the Nevada Test Site - or your family member did or another Department of Energy facility and received an EEOICPA White Card, you are entitled to skilled home health care at no out-of-pocket cost for your accepted conditions.
No co-pays. No deductibles. No bills.
Alara Home Care is enrolled with the Department of Labor's WCMBP billing system and accepts the White Card directly. We handle the authorization, billing, and the paperwork. You focus on your health.
And we do something most agencies don't: we make sure you are receiving every benefit you are entitled to — including benefits many patients have never been told about.
What the White Card Covers for Home Health
Skilled nursing — Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses visiting you at home for clinical assessment, wound care, medication management, disease management, and more.
Physical therapy — Rebuilding strength, mobility, and balance in your own home, toward your own goals.
Occupational therapy — Getting back to the daily activities that matter to you — safely and independently.
Medical social work — Connecting you and your family to resources, navigating benefits, and and coordinating every resource your situation calls for.
Home health aide services — Personal care assistance under nursing supervision, so you can stay in your home with dignity.
Caregiver training — If a family member is helping care for you, we formally train them as part of your plan of care. That training is covered.
All of the above at zero cost to you. The Department of Labor pays Alara directly. You do not receive a bill.
What Else Your Benefits May Cover
Beyond home health services, EEOICPA benefits can include:
Prescription medications related to your accepted conditions
Durable medical equipment — hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen equipment
Home safety modifications — grab bars, shower benches, ramps — if medically necessary
Travel reimbursement to physician appointments related to your accepted conditions
Diagnostic testing and specialist visits
Many patients have never been told about all of these. We tell every patient at the start of care — because knowing what you are entitled to is the first step to receiving it.
What Are Consequential Conditions — And Why They Matter
This is the most important thing we can tell you about your White Card coverage, and most patients have never heard of it.
If you develop a condition that is a consequence of your accepted EEOICPA illness — a side effect of treatment, a complication of your primary condition, or an illness causally linked to what you were diagnosed with — that condition can be added to your White Card. Once it is added, treatment for that condition is also covered at no cost.
At Alara, we screen every White Card patient for consequential conditions at the start of care — using validated clinical tools, not guesswork. When we identify a condition that may qualify, we work with your physician to document it, prepare the submission to the Department of Labor, and track it through to acceptance.
Most home health agencies never pursue this. We do it on every admission, because these are benefits you have earned and you deserve to receive them.
If You Don't Have a White Card Yet
If you worked at the Nevada Test Site or another covered DOE facility and believe you may qualify for EEOICPA benefits, you may be able to get a White Card — even if you were denied previously.
The program has expanded over the years, adding new covered conditions and new exposure categories. A previous denial does not mean permanent ineligibility.
Alara does not file initial EEOICPA claims — that is the role of Authorized Representatives who specialize in this program. But we will connect you to the right resources at no cost:
DOL Las Vegas Resource Center (702) 697-0841 The primary navigation resource for NTS workers in Southern Nevada.
If you believe you may qualify, call them. If you want us to help you understand your situation, call us too. We will tell you honestly what we know.
White Card and Medicare — You Can Have Both
The White Card is not Medicare. Having a White Card does not affect your Medicare benefits in any way.
White Card covers your accepted EEOICPA conditions. Medicare covers everything else. Many Alara patients use both — so that every aspect of their health is covered, at no cost.
If you have both, we will make sure you are using both correctly.
