The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment for 9/11 related health conditions. A member may be certified (approved) for treatment of specific airway and digestive disorders, mental health conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, or cancers. This two-page factsheet contains the complete list of certified conditions. New conditions may be added to this list if research reveals they may be related to exposures from the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Program may also provide health care for conditions not on this list if they resulted from the treatment or progression of an underlying certified WTC-health condition.
Please call 1-888-982-4748 for more information.
