EEOICPA home health care in Las Vegas
Alara provides EEOICPA home health care in Clark and Nye Counties, Nevada. If the Department of Labor accepted your claim, your medical benefit can pay for skilled nursing and aide care at home when it is authorized, at no cost to you. Alara is nurse-owned, licensed in Nevada, and bills the Department of Labor directly.
EEOICPA home care, DOL home health and White Card home health are the same benefit.
People search for this three ways. All three mean care at home, paid by the federal program for former nuclear weapons workers.
Nursing, therapy and aide care for the accepted condition.
The medical benefit covers care that is medically necessary for the accepted condition and authorized by the Department of Labor.
- Skilled nursing: assessment, medication management and wound care.
- Home health aides: hands-on help with daily care.
- Physical and occupational therapy: strength, mobility, balance and safety.
- Medical social work.
The agency does not pick the hours. Your treating physician writes a Letter of Medical Necessity that states the type of caregiver, the hours per day and the days per week. The Department of Labor reviews it and authorizes the care.

Four steps, in this order.
-
An accepted condition
The Department of Labor has accepted at least one illness under your EEOICPA claim. If you have a White Card, this step is done.
-
A nurse assessment
A nurse looks at what is happening now: symptoms, medications, mobility, breathing, wounds, and the help you need each day.
-
Physician documentation
Your treating physician documents that care at home is medically necessary for the accepted condition.
-
Department of Labor authorization
The Department of Labor decides which services and hours are authorized. Care starts after that.
The Department of Labor decides every claim. Alara assesses the patient, coordinates the physician documentation and the home-health authorization, and provides the authorized care. It does not file claims and nothing here is a determination of eligibility.

What people ask first.
Does EEOICPA pay for home health care?
Yes, when it is authorized. The EEOICPA medical benefit covers care that is medically necessary for the accepted condition and authorized by the Department of Labor. Skilled nursing and home health aide care at home are among the services it authorizes.
Is EEOICPA home care the same as White Card home health?
Yes. EEOICPA is the law, the Department of Labor runs the program, and the White Card is the medical benefits card that comes with an accepted claim. EEOICPA home care, DOL home health and White Card home health all describe the same covered care at home.
What does EEOICPA home health care cost?
Care authorized under the EEOICPA medical benefit is paid by the Department of Labor directly to the provider, at no cost to you. There are no premiums, copays or deductibles for the patient.
How many hours of home care does EEOICPA cover?
There is no set number. Your treating physician writes a Letter of Medical Necessity that states the type of caregiver, the hours per day and the days per week, and the Department of Labor authorizes the care. No agency can promise hours before that.
Can a family member be the paid caregiver?
Sometimes. The care has to be medically necessary and authorized first. The family member then has to qualify for the role and be hired, trained and supervised by the home health agency like any other caregiver.
Can I change EEOICPA home health agencies?
Yes. You can choose who provides your care. You do not need to cancel anything to ask questions, and switching does not have to mean a gap in care. Alara reviews your current care and authorization first.
