Simply Healthcare Plans’ Post

On this solemn day, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. FSR would like to thank all who have risked their lives to save others on 9/11 and in the years that followed. The hard work and selflessness of these individuals helped bring America out of one of its most difficult times. To the sarcoidosis patients who were firefighters, first responders, volunteers, or helped out around the world, we want you to know we are here supporting you to this day. Since there is lung involvement in 90% of all sarcoidosis cases and given the amount of airborne contaminants, it’s not surprising sarcoidosis is prevalent among workers at Ground Zero. In the U.S, the average rate of sarcoidosis is between 10 – 35 per 100,000 people. For firefighters who worked at ground zero, however, the rate is 56 per 100,000 people.

According to the American Heart Association, 70 percent of Americans feel helpless to act because they do not know how to administer CPR or their training has lapsed. Only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander and in those first few minutes you, the Rescuer, are the first line of defense in helping save a person’s life. Getting CPR/AED certified is vital! https://hubs.li/Q01W89DR0 #CPRTraining #AEDTraining

Currently, a veteran must contact the VA within 72 hours of receiving non-VA emergency care; otherwise VA may deny payment for these services even if the veteran is eligible for treatment. Veterans suffering medical emergencies should not have to worry about whether VA will deny coverage or refuse payment because of administrative notification time requirements. H.R. 3644, the Addressing Care Timelines (ACT) for Veterans Act would provide an additional 24-hour period for veterans to inform the VA when receiving care at a non-VA facility under the Veterans Community Care Program. DAV supports H.R. 3644, in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 205, which calls for the improvement of emergency care benefits for service-connected veterans: specifically, for VA to provide a more liberal interpretation of the law governing payment for emergency care and reimbursement to veterans who have received emergency care at non-VA facilities. We ask all DAV members and supporters to contact their representatives and urge them to co-sponsor and support H. R. 3644, the ACT for Veterans Act.
