VCF FAQ

3.5 如果我过去被诊断出患有子宫癌,但该癌症尚未获得WTC健康项目的认证怎么办? 我有资格获得 VCF 的赔偿吗?

是的,但要从 VCF 获得赔偿,您的疾病必须先获得 WTC 健康项目的认证。 即使您此时不需要治疗该癌症,这也是必需的。 为开始WTC健康项目的认证流程,您可以在https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/uterineCancer_20230118.html网址 或致电 1-888-982-4748找到更多信息。

一旦您的子宫癌获得了WTC健康项目的认证,您应该提交索赔或修改您现有的索赔,以将该癌症添加为合资格的疾病。 VCF网站有关于如何提交新的索赔或修改(请参见常见问题解答 5.1)先前提交的索赔的详细说明。 VCF 将审核您的索赔并通知您我们的审核结果。

VCF FAQ

3.4 WTC健康项目宣布将子宫癌加到承保的癌症病症列表中,此添加自 2023 年 1 月 18 日起生效。如果我的子宫癌刚获 WTC 健康项目的认证,并且我已经提交了 VCF 索赔,我可以获得赔偿吗?

可以。 自 2023 年 1 月 18 日起,所有的子宫癌,包括子宫内膜癌,都已添加到 WTC 相关的健康状况清单中,因此,只要满足所有其他资格要求,就有资格获得 VCF 的赔偿。

如果您的索赔之前因您没有合资格的疾病而被拒绝,并且您的子宫癌或子宫内膜癌已获得 WTC 健康项目的认证,您就可以修改您的索赔。 VCF 将审核该新信息并通知您我们的审核结果。

如果您已经因其他合资格的疾病而获得了赔偿,并且您现在已获得对任何类型的子宫癌或子宫内膜癌的认证,您就可以修改您的索赔以寻求与此癌症相关的额外赔偿。

有关如何修改您的索赔的详细信息,请参阅常见问题解答第 5 节。

VCF FAQ

3.7 My family member passed away but was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer before she died. I believe the Uterine Cancer was related to her 9/11 exposure, but it was not a condition on the WTC Health Program list of covered conditions prior to her death.

Yes, the authorized Personal Representative of the deceased victim may file a claim seeking compensation for the Uterine Cancer, as long as all other VCF eligibility requirements are met.  Because the decedent cannot go to the WTC Health Program to have the condition certified, the Uterine Cancer will be verified through the VCF Private Physician Process.

VCF FAQ

3.6 I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer before it was added to the WTC Health Program’s list of covered cancer conditions, and I paid out-of-pocket medical expenses related to treatment for the cancer. Will the VCF reimburse me for these medical expenses

Yes, as long as you meet the VCF requirements for reimbursement of these expenses.  You may claim reimbursement from the VCF if you paid out-of-pocket expenses related to your Uterine Cancer before the date that the WTC Health Program certified the condition for treatment.  The VCF has specific requirements for claiming medical expense reimbursement.  See FAQ 6.5 for further details.

VCF FAQ

3.5 What if I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer in the past, but the cancer has not yet been certified by the WTC Health Program? Am I eligible for compensation from the VCF?

Yes, but to receive compensation from the VCF, you must first have the condition certified by the WTC Health Program.  This is required even if you do not need treatment for the cancer at this time.  To begin the certification process with the WTC Health Program, you can find more information online at https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/uterineCancer_20230118.html or by calling 1-888-982-4748.

VCF FAQ

3.4 The WTC Health Program announced the addition of Uterine Cancer to the list of covered cancer conditions effective January 18, 2023. Can I receive compensation for my Uterine Cancer if it is newly certified by the WTC Health Program and I already file

Yes.  As of January 18, 2023, all Uterine Cancers, including endometrial cancers, have been added to the List of WTC-related Health Conditions, and are therefore eligible for compensation from the VCF, as long as all other eligibility requirements are met.

If your claim was previously denied because you did not have an eligible condition, and your Uterine or endometrial cancer is certified by the WTC Health Program, you may amend your claim.  The VCF will review the new information and notify you of the outcome of our review.

2.4 如果我现在没生病,还能注册吗? (添加日期:2021年7月30日)

能。您可以随时在网上或拨打我们的求助热线1-855-885-1555向VCF注册。通过注册,您保留了在未来提出索赔的权利。虽然注册并不意味着您有义务在将来提出索赔,但您如果真的提出索赔,您必须已在适用的注册截止日期前就向VCF注册了,才有资格获得赔偿。出于这个原因,我们鼓励大家现在就注册,即使您现在没有生病。这样,若您将来生病了,您就不必担心注册的问题。

VCF FAQ

1.12 我认为产品制造商或医生促成、导致或加剧了我的与9/11有关的病情(或促成或导致已故受害者的死亡)。我可以起诉该制造商或医生并仍然能参与VCF吗?

不可以。针对产品制造商的产品责任的诉讼,或针对医生的医疗事故的诉讼,是基于这样的法律理论:即该产品或医生导致、促成或加剧了与 9/11 相关的病情。这些类型的诉讼属于法律规定的豁免所适用的诉讼条款范围,而VCF是根据该法规运作的。这意味着:为了有资格获得赔偿,当您提交您的 VCF 索赔时,必须放弃参与此类诉讼的权利,并且必须满足 VCF的《 政策与程序》第 1.3 节 规定的和解和撤诉截止日期。

请注意,因为VCF 是诉讼替代项目,所以特别不鼓励任何解决诉讼的行动。如果您在适用期限之后,在豁免权适用的诉讼案中达成和解,即使您在您提起或和解诉讼时没有被诊断出或证明患有涵盖的病情,您将没有资格获得 VCF 赔偿。虽然 VCF 可以在适当的情况下对未及时撤诉的案件进行例外处理。但根据其法律规定,它不能对未及时和解的案件进行例外处理。
