EEOICPA (White Card) Home Health Care for Department of Energy Workers

The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) was created to support workers who developed illnesses linked to their employment at Department of Energy facilities. The "white card" identifies beneficiaries approved to receive medical and home health benefits related to their covered condition at no out-of-pocket cost.

For families across Oak Ridge, Knoxville, and the surrounding communities where DOE work shaped generations of careers, this program can mean the difference between struggling alone and receiving genuine, personalized home health care. If you or a loved one worked at Y-12, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, K-25, or another Department of Energy facility, you may qualify for fully covered home health care through the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. Harmony Wellness Home Health has built its reputation on guiding these families through every step, from eligibility questions to daily care planning.

Eligibility depends on your work history and diagnosed condition, but many former employees and their surviving family members qualify for benefits they were never told about. Our team helps verify eligibility and coordinates directly with the Department of Labor to reduce the paperwork burden on you and your family.

Common qualifying situations include:

• Diagnosis of a covered illness tied to radiation, chemical, or beryllium exposure at a DOE site
• Employment history at Y-12, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, K-25, or another covered facility
• Approved Part B or Part E EEOICPA compensation claims
• Need for ongoing skilled nursing, personal care, or home health aide services
• Surviving spouses or dependents seeking continued in-home health care coverage

Once approved, white card home health care can include a wide range of medical and non-medical support delivered right in your home. Our registered nurses and home health aides coordinate closely with your physician to build a plan around your specific diagnosis and needs.

Services available under the EEOICPA home health care benefit include:

• Skilled nursing care at home, including chronic disease management and post-surgical recovery support
• 24/7 nursing care and 24-hour home care for patients with complex or advancing conditions
• Wound care, medication management, and specialty nursing for occupational illness complications
• Private duty nursing for patients requiring continuous, one-on-one clinical attention
• Companion care, meal preparation, and light housekeeping to support daily comfort and safety
• Personal care assistance, including bathing, dressing, and mobility support

Navigating a federal workers' compensation home care program can feel overwhelming, especially while managing a serious diagnosis. Our case coordination team works directly with your case manager, physician, and the Department of Labor to keep your benefits active and your care plan current.

We also provide medical evaluations to document your ongoing needs, ensuring your white card home health care benefits accurately reflect the level of support required. Families throughout Clinton, Harriman, Kingston, Lenoir City, and Oliver Springs rely on our team for this exact kind of steady, knowledgeable guidance.
